President Shauna Hannan Invites the LSTC Community to a Bold and Hopeful Future

In a new video message, President Shauna Hannan reflects on the journey we share as a seminary, a neighborhood partner, and part of the global body of Christ. Speaking from LSTC’s home in Hyde Park, Dr. Hannan lifts up the ways our community of students, faculty, alumni, and friends is united in God’s mission of justice, mercy, and hope—and the deep need for leaders rooted in Christ’s teachings in this moment of challenge and change.

“At LSTC, we are committed to forming those leaders,” she says, “not for our sake, but for the sake of the gospel and the world God loves.”

Dr. Hannan offers gratitude for the prayers, support, and witness that sustain this work and welcomes all who walk alongside LSTC as we form courageous, Spirit-led leaders for the church and the world. “The work ahead is bold,” she reminds us, “but we step into it with hope because Christ is with us.”

As you watch her message, may you feel the same sense of faith and partnership that undergirds all we do at LSTC, and the same call to help shape a future filled with boldness, compassion, and possibility.
