Bringing Samford's Theologians and Biblical Scholars to Your Churches
Serving the Church has always been central to Samford University’s mission. Through The Living Word Initiative, congregations can connect with experienced faculty from Samford University’s Department of Biblical and Religious Studies for engaging, biblically grounded teaching that enriches faith, deepens understanding and strengthens local churches.
By bringing the expertise of Samford faculty in biblical studies, theology and church history beyond the classroom, The Living Word Initiative creates opportunities for churches throughout Birmingham, Alabama and the Southeast to learn directly from trusted Christian scholars.
Rooted in Samford’s commitment to academic excellence, Christian service and faithful engagement with the world, The Living Word Initiative supports pastors, nurtures discipleship and fosters meaningful connections between the University and the churches it serves.
When you support The Living Word Initiative, you invest in the spiritual growth of congregations and the vitality of local churches. Your gift helps ensure that pastors and church members have access to trusted biblical teaching and resources that prepare them for faithful service and ministry.
Thank you for partnering with Samford to expand the reach of this important work and its impact on churches throughout our region.
