The Rev. Dr. Scott Dudley is Guest Preacher at Montreat Conference Center

Montreat Conference Center is pleased to welcome the Rev. Dr. Scott Dudley as the guest preacher on Sunday, June 29. Dr. Dudley comes to the conference center from Bellevue, WA, a suburb of Seattle, and is Senior Pastor at First Presbyterian Church. He will be joined by the Chancel Choir of Davidson College Presbyterian Church in Davidson, NC, under the direction of Jane Cain, Director of Music and organist. Dr. Dudley’s sermon, “Go,” is taken from readings in the Old Testament book of Genesis and the Gospel of Matthew.
Dr. Dudley holds a Ph.D. from Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA, in English Literature and a Master’s in Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary, Princeton, NJ. He has taught numerous writing and literature courses at Stanford University and Seattle Pacific University and speaks often at Christian conferences. Prior to accepting the call to Bellevue, he served as the College Pastor and then the Teaching Pastor at Menlo Park Presbyterian Church, Menlo Park, CA. Dr. Dudley is married to Christina and they have three young children.
In addition to serving as guest preacher, Dr. Dudley is also the keynote speaker at Christian Life, June 28-July 1, a highly acclaimed annual conference sponsored by Presbyterians for Renewal and hosted by Montreat Conference Center.
A study of the Psalms, hosted by Montreat Presbyterian Church (PCUSA), will be offered at 9:30 AM in the Presbyterian Heritage Center, followed by worship at 11:00 AM in Montreat Conference Center’s Anderson Auditorium. Child care during worship is available in the Updike Child Care Center on Texas Road for children six months through completed kindergarten.
