Twenty-eight Huntingdon students had declared majors in religion, Christian
education, or youth ministry as of the third week of classes this fall
semester. There are at least 13 Huntingdon graduates in denominational or
interdenominational seminary programs at this writing, including nine at
Methodist-related programs.
President West will preach for the opening session and for the Service of
Ordination during Alabama-West Florida Annual Conference in June 2014. Later
that month he will preach at the Western North Carolina Annual Conference-of
which he was a member when he was elected president-at Lake Junaluska.
