How exciting a moment in history this is as we stand on the precipice of entering the second decade of the second century of the Hampton University Minsters’ Conference. I am pleased to welcome you to Hampton University and to share my excitement for our 110th annual gathering of the conference and the 90th annual gathering of the Choir Directors’ & Organists’ Guild Workshop. We are pleased to present a stellar program of powerful prolific preachers and proclaimers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ from across the nation. This year’s full conference agenda of sermons, lectures, workshops, and seminars will take place Sunday through Thursday, June 2-6, 2024. The Communion Service will take place on Monday night before the Conference President’s message with the conference ending on Thursday night after the Choir Guild’s annual concert and the final message from HUMC Conference Preacher, The Reverend Dr. Frederick D. Haynes.Â
It gives me great pleasure as Executive Director & Treasurer to invite you to register for this year’s gathering as we worship under the theme Tools for Transforming the Life of the Leader. We extend warm greetings to Conference Presidents Dr. Cynthia L. Hale and Dr. Winston R. Gray.Â
Finally, on behalf of President Darrell K. Williams, the administration, faculty, and staff of Hampton University, we appreciate your support over the years and look forward to the beautiful years ahead. The time you invest with us will be well spent as we continue to inform your theology, enrich your ministry, and bless your life!
Sincerely and with Gratitude,
Debra L. Haggins
