The A. Eldon Palmquist Lectureship

The A. Eldon Palmquist Lectureship series focuses on preaching—the intersection of public pastoral ministry, society and culture.

This lectureship was established in 1985 by the family of the late Reverend A. Eldon Palmquist, Covenant pastor and conference superintendent, in recognition of his lively, grace-filled preaching, his interest in education, and his loyalty and devotion to the cause of Christ. The lectureship is hosted by the Field of Ministry of North Park Theological Seminary.
