Crowley’s Ridge College has hosted its
Annual Bible Lectureship since 2001. Each year
we choose a book or books from the Bible,
and we invite talented speakers to lecture on
a portion of the book(s). We alternate our
selection from the Old Testament and New
Testament from year to year. This year’s New
Testament theme is “ACTS: You Will Be My
Witnesses.”
More than 100 different individuals have
spoken in our annual lectureship, including
more than 50 alumni. Speakers have come
from seven states and include such men as Earl
Edwards, Neale Pryor, Ralph Gilmore, Jimmy
Allen, Earl West, Jimmy Adcox, Eddie Cloer,
Spencer Furby, Ted Knight, L.V. Pfeifer, G.W.
Allison, Monte Cox, Deron Smith, Harold Redd,
Bill Wheeler, Carroll Sites, Steve Reeves, and
many others.
The Book and Theme for the 16th Annual
Bible Lectureship will be announced during the
final evening of the lectureship. We invite you
to be our guest as we explore the great texts
of God’s Holy Word.
