Key conversations for pastors and church leaders.

What is the Pastor
Professor Exchange?

The Pastor Professor Exchange was created in 2018 as a way to connect churches to Redeemer University. We wanted to create a space for meaningful dialogue on campus and provide the opportunity for pastors and church leaders to hear from exceptional Christian scholars on relevant topics for the church today.
