The spring semester schedule of Chapel speakers at Grand Canyon University features three newcomers and a long list of powerful returning speakers.
The first-time Chapel speakers are:
- Vermon Pierre: The lead pastor of Roosevelt Community Church in downtown Phoenix is a council member of The Gospel Coalition and author of “Gospel Shaped Living Handbook.”
- Megan Fate Marshman: The Long Beach, Calif., resident is the Director of Women’s Ministries at Hume Lake Christian Camps and recently released her second book, “SelfLess: Living Your Part in the Big Story of God.”
- Terry Mackey: The Memphis, Tenn., native took over in March as pastor of Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church in Phoenix after its nationally renowned senior pastor, Bishop Alexis Thomas, passed away at age 50.
GCU President Brian Mueller will start the semester, as usual, by addressing Chapel on Jan. 6. Returning speakers are listed below with links to their recent Chapel talks.
Chapel regularly draws at least 5,000 students who come to GCU Arena on Monday mornings, and they also have access to The Gathering on Tuesday nights.
