Southern Wesleyan University’s Division of Religion held a commissioning service April 30 at Freedom’s Hill Church on the campus in Central for graduating religion students.
As a part of the service, each senior kneels at the historic kneeling bench, where religion faculty lay hands on the student, and the senior's accountability group leader prays a prayer of blessing for the student. Rev. Tom Harding, pastor of ALIVE Wesleyan Church in Central and a 1991 Southern Wesleyan religion alumnus, gave the sermon.
