William E. Pannell Center for African American Church Studies
The Pannell Center at Fuller Theological Seminary is committed to expanding the formation of Christian leaders in the African American church, community, and culture. In line with Fuller’s vision of forming global leaders for kingdom vocations, the center is a powerful resource for the forming of Christian leaders to effectively serve the African American church and community. In addition to continuing the legacy of training and developing church leaders, the Pannell Center seeks to nurture and form erudite African American scholars and courageous scholar-activists.
