Gayraud S. Wilmore Society of Black Seminarians

The Gayraud Wilmore Society of Black Seminarians (SBS) centers the distinct voices of the seminary?

Purpose: SBS validates and centers the distinct voices of our Black students by providing a sacred and unified space that uplifts the Black community, cultural experiences, social connections, mental health, and the academic support of the Black student body at LPTS. While the focus is on Black students, we seek to be a safe space for all POC, those seeking community, and those who authentically w

ant an opportunity to learn about the Black experience. Mission: Partner with LPTS to create an environment that acknowledges the distinctiveness of the Black experience, values Black students, and recognizes the importance of community among the Black student body. SBS will assist and inspire the student body and LPTS in working toward an anti-racist institution, and to educate, engage and ignite the local community to take action on issues and concerns related to the well-being and success of Black people

The Gayraud S. Wilmore Society of Black Seminarians is proud to introduce you to our new President, Jeanique Mitchell, a first-year (soon to be second-year) M. Div student.
Jeanique is a proud graduate of Kentucky State University (HBCU!!) and has held numerous leadership roles with the Urban League, NAACP, and various ecclesial organizations. Most importantly, Jeanique is a child of God, a lover of Jesus Christ, and a faithful Bates Memorial Baptist Church member. The members of SBS elected her, and We do not doubt that God will equip Jeanique as she leads SBS into the future.

The Gayraud S. Wilmore Society of Black Seminaries hears and feels like the cries of our Haitian brothers and sisters. We look to Leviticus 19:34 as God reminds us to love those who seek refugee.

One of my greatest desires is to see black people become all that we were meant to be. I hope that SBS can be an organization that helps to develop and give support to black leaders while they are on their Seminary journey and create space for connection with the community.

I hope that SBS creates a space for all people and amplifies the voices of black biblical interpreters. I am confident that we could serve our communities best by coming together as black seminaries.

I want people to know that I am a preacher/teacher of the Gospel and freedom fighter. I take those responsibilities seriously. I am honored and humbled to be the SBS President and I hope the group will be a benefit to the Seminary community and the city of Louisville
