Pastor Laura will graduate from Eden Theological Seminary with her Doctor of Ministry degree on May 16, 2025. The ceremony will be at 5:30 pm at Eden Theological Seminary and will also be livestreamed on Eden Seminary’s Facebook page.

Pastor Laura will give a public presentation of her thesis, “Teamwork Makes the Dream Work: Collaborative Ministry as a Model of Congregational and Community Transformation and Hope,” on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, at 10:45 am at Eden Seminary. This will also be accessible to the public via Zoom, though the link has not been provided yet.

Upon conferral of the degree, Pastor Laura’s official title will be: The Rev. Dr. Laura Mignerone. You can definitely still refer to her as Pastor Laura, but she’ll smile if you use the honorific. ☺

Thank you to both congregations and especially those from St. John who participated in interviews for my research, for your relentless support and grace over the five years it’s taken to get here. WE did it!!!
