The Rev. Todd Cutter, university pastor and director of spiritual life, invites graduates, their families and guests and Lenoir-Rhyne faculty and staff to attend baccalaureate, a Christian worship service that celebrates the completion of each graduate’s academic career from the institution.

The baccalaureate service is a 45-minute religious service honoring the graduating class, offering thanksgiving for God’s blessings upon the graduates and their families. During the service, an address in the form of a sermon is delivered by Rev. Cutter. Service highlights include hymns, musical selections and readings by students. Faculty and undergraduate degree candidates process in cap and gown for the ceremony.
