Morehouse School of Religion

Program Description

Morehouse School of Religion is poised to observe and celebrate our 159th Founders’ Observance of continuous Christian service through the lens of the Black Church. Since our founding, we have endeavored to serve our Baptist congregations, parachurch organizations, alumni, alumnae, and our brotherly and sisterly communities around our global communities. Events Monday, February 9-10, 2026, are set to be held at Antioch Baptist Church North, 540 Cameron Madison Alexander Blvd NW, Atlanta, GA 30318. The Prayer Breakfast on Wednesday, February 11, 2026 will be held at Lindsey Street Baptist Church, 550 Lindsey Street NW, Atlanta, GA 30314.

This year, our theme highlights our institutional role, which is to provide religious education for our clergypersons. Historically, black religious education has played a vital role in the formation of our Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Our theme then is “Unshakable: The Prophetic Resilience of Black Faith and Black Futures.” Scriptural reference: “We are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken.” (Hebrews 12: 26-29, NRSV). We stand confidently that this is an appropriate conversation during these sundry times.
