Eden is overjoyed to welcome the Rev. Michelle Higgins as the preacher for this Opening Convocation. Rev. Higgins is senior pastor of St. John’s Church (The Beloved Community) UCC in St. Louis. She has deep roots in the Pentecostal worship tradition and is the first woman to be settled as lead pastor and teacher in the congregation’s 160 year history. Michelle was a speaker as part of Eden’s 2021 Spring Convocation last academic year. In July 2021, Rev. Higgins was one of the preachers for the United Church of Christ’s national General Synod.
