Academic lectureships bring distinguished scholars to campus every fall and spring. Topics include the Bible, preaching, and bringing the Christian message to the contemporary world. The lectures are all free and open to the public.

The Nils W. Lund Memorial Lectureship brings to the campus each autumn one or more distinguished scholars in the biblical field. The focus of this lectureship is on current developments in biblical studies and their ministry relationship to the task of preaching today. The Lund Memorial Scholarship was founded by Hugo A. Anderson in 1960, in memory of Dr. Nils W. Lund, dean and biblical scholar at the Seminary from 1922-1954.

The David Nyvall Lectureship was inaugurated in 1951 in memory of the pioneer Swedish American educator who served the school both as teacher and president. The purpose of this lecture series, held each spring, is to stimulate interest in the interpretation of the Christian message for the contemporary world.

The Carl G. Westerdahl Lectureship in Evangelism began in 1964 through the establishment of an endowment fund by the Westerdahl family in memory of the late Reverend Carl G. Westerdahl, noted Covenant preacher and evangelist. The first series of lecture was presented in the winter quarter of 1966.

The A. Eldon Palmquist Lectureship in Preaching was established in 1985 by the family of the late Reverend A. Eldon Palmquist, Covenant pastor and conference superintendent, in recognition of his lively, grace-filled preaching, his interest in education, and his loyalty and devotion to the cause of Christ. The first lectureship was presented in 1987.
