The wives in our seminary community are a tremendous blessing to their husbands, their families, and our school. Their faithfulness bears fruit far beyond what is often seen.

Today’s graduation is not only a milestone for our students, but for the faithful wives who have prayed, sacrificed, encouraged, and persevered alongside them. We thank the Lord for these godly women.

This evening we got to enjoy a special time of fellowship with our graduates and their families, faculty and staff, and the board of trustees. We are grateful for moments like these!

"Blessed be him that hath made our winter short and many sweet days in it, and our summer endless." — John Welwood

And just like that, our Spring semester has come to an end. These brothers have put in a lot of hard work this semester while also balancing their responsibilities outside of the seminary. Leading families, filling pulpits, welcoming newborns; and yet the Lord’s grace is sufficient. Please continue to pray for our brothers as they break for the summer.

We give thanks to God for these graduates. Join us in celebrating the Class of 2026 by attending our 35th Commencement Exercises. Tomorrow these men will close one chapter and begin a new. Our commencement speaker this year will be Dr. Sidney Dyer, Dean of Students and Professor of Greek and New Testament at Greenville Seminary. You are invited to stay after the ceremony for a light reception. Livestream will be available at gpts.edu/events/35th-co…

This morning, our graduating class met with Dr. Master to reflect, discuss, and pray about their time at Greenville Seminary. Although it is bitter sweet to see them finish this season with us, we rejoice in what the Lord has done in their lives and what he has in store for them in their future ministries.

Join us at the 2026 PCA General Assembly in Louisville, KY for lunch! At this year’s luncheon, we are looking forward to sitting down with Ian Hamilton and asking him some questions about a long-term ministry, reflecting on a lifetime of faithful service in Christ’s church. Attendees will receive a complimentary copy of a new edition of Morton Smith’s Harmony of the Westminster Confession and Catechisms. Seating is limited; we encourage you to register soon.

Each year, Greenville Seminary hosts a limited cohort of pastors and church leaders from Tuesday – Thursday, in Greenville, SC, for intensive seminars designed to assist the church in fulfilling the Great Commission. This mid-week event is led by pastor-theologians and experienced leaders in international missions. It is intentionally limited to a small cohort of men for the purpose of fostering fellowship, discussions, and mutual encouragement in making Christ known among the nations.

A common objection to the work of foreign missions is that the church should not send their best and brightest to reach unbelievers around the world when they have so many needs at home. Yet, Chad Vegas points out that nothing is more impactful for the spiritual growth of the local church than seeing some of their own forsake their own lives to bring the gospel to the world. While some fear that sending gifted ministers, members, and financial resources overseas will impoverish local churches, Vegas contends that missionary work enlarges the church’s vision, deepens generosity, inspires future ministers, and renews zeal for the gospel both abroad and at home.
