The Robert G. and Nellie B. den Dulk Lectures on Pastoral Ministry were endowed by friends of WSC and by the den Dulks in 1993, when Bob den Dulk resigned as the second president of the Seminary. In appreciation for the den Dulks' 30-year service to the Westminster Seminaries in Pennsylvania and California and in recognition of their passion for the preparation of pastors to preach the Word of God faithfully and powerfully, WSC designated the proceeds of this endowment to bring an experienced pastor to the campus each year to address current and future ministers of Word and Sacrament in order to encourage and offer wise counsel regarding the rigors and joys of shepherding Christ's flock.
