About the Duerr Lecture Series

The Duerr Lecture Series was established in 1998 in memory 
of W. Chris  Duerr, member and Ruling Elder of St. Philip. 
As part of the Presbyterian  Church (USA) and the Reformed Tradition, lectures 
focus on subjects that  will enhance the Christian faith in light of that tradition.

Challenging speakers are chosen from the fields of theology,
Bible, and preaching to inspire and equip congregants for deeper faith and service.

	The full series will be in-person & live-streaming online.
