About the Society of Professors in Christian Ministry

SPCM is a leading scholarly guild for evangelical academicians in the field of practical theology, particularly in the disciplines of education, discipleship, and ministry leadership. Our membership is comprised primarily of professors, ministry practitioners, and doctoral students, all of whom are devoted to increasing depth and excellence in the teaching ministry of the church and the academy. The primary function of our organization is the annual conference, held each year in October. The conference serves as a means of equipping our members through scholarly dialogue, professional development, and networking. 

SPCM was officially organized in 1970 by a body within the National Association of Evangelicals. Read more about our history here.

SPCM is stewarded by a board of directors who serve one or two three-year terms. The SPCM president is a member of the board and typically serves a two year term in that role.
