ABOUT THE PANNELL CENTER The Pannell Center provides indispensable formational education—by building a body of Black leaders who believe in the power of the church, the community, and the culture. We are the church. We are the community. We are the culture. The William E. Pannell Center for Black Church Studies embraces a mission to proactively build and empower Black Christian leaders. By centering kingdom work, cultural enrichment, and academic rigor the Pannell Center strives to cultivate a spirit of excellence through the development of global leaders on campus, in the church, as well as in our local communities. The Pannell Center was birthed in 1972, initially as two initiatives: the Theological Studies Program for Black Ministers and the Leadership Institute. The latter did not gain much momentum. The Theological Studies Program admitted 15 students; 10 of which would be accepted into master’s programs. In 1974 the program became an official center and went through a few name variations over the years. Former trustee and longtime faculty member Dr. William E. Pannell was, and continues to be, a tireless supporter of the center. To honor his efforts, the center was named in his honor in 2015. The Pannell Center’s founding stemmed from a conviction that the Black church has much to contribute to the seminary experience, a conviction that continues to guide its work today.
