✨ Meet Rev. Zeta Touchton Lamberson, one of APCE's 2025 awardees! ✨

Rev. Zeta Touchton Lamberson, a proud graduate of the Presbyterian School of Christian Education, Class of 1977, will be honored with the SUSTAIN – Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2025 APCE Annual Event.

Looking back on her experience at PSCE, which federated with Union Theological Seminary in 1997 to eventually become Union Presbyterian Seminary, Rev. Lamberson shared, “My education at PSCE broadened my understanding of ministry in the church. The courses in theology, Bible, and ethics were especially helpful.” These lessons became the bedrock of her impactful and faithful ministry.

Speaking about the recognition, she remarked, “To be recognized by your peers for activities that did as much for you as it did for others is truly amazing.” Service has always been central to her ministry: “When I think of the life of Jesus, I think of service. How blessed and fortunate I am to be able to give and serve others.”

Her favorite scripture, Matthew 7:12, captures her mission: “In everything do to others as you would have them do to you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.”

Rev. Roberta Dodds-Ingersoll, a proud graduate of the Presbyterian School of Christian Education, Class of 1979, will be honored with the SUSTAIN – Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2025 APCE Annual Event.

Reflecting on her time at PSCE, she shared that it taught her the importance of balance: the integration of Biblical and Reformed theology, educational theory, and practical application. These foundational lessons shaped her impactful ministry as both an educator and pastor.

On receiving this recognition, she noted, “Each of us has God-given gifts that we have been called to share with energy, intelligence, imagination, and love.” Her favorite scripture, Psalm 139, serves as a testament to God’s sustaining presence throughout her life and work.

A fun highlight from 2024 that everyone loved: RVA Goats visited Shalom Farms to help clear invasive plants! These hardworking goats made room for native plants to thrive and created more space for visitors to enjoy Yaupon Place.

And, who doesn’t love a good goat photo?
