Reflections on Our Commitment to Higher Education

Presbyterians have been responsible for many colleges and Universities.  As a congregation in a university neighborhood, Central Presbyterian has a long heritage of supporting, nurturing, and praying for students, faculty and staff.  We have supported a Presbyterian campus ministry for over 100 years.  Rev. Geary, one of the Pastors of Central was a founder of the Albany Collegiate Institute which became Lewis and Clark College in 1942.  Our preacher this morning, Rev. Mark Duntley is the Dean of Spiritual and Religious Life at this college.  Rev. Geary was also one of the members of the first Board of Regents of the University of Oregon.
