The History of Pace-Warren

“With a heart full of love and gratitude for what our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, has done in my life,

I offer this gift to His honor and glory.”

-Anne B. Warren

In 1983, Dr. and Mrs. Albert Samuel Warren, III, graciously endowed Second Presbyterian Church with support for a lecture series in memory and honor of her family members.



The Pace-Warren Lecture Series has brought some of the finest and most noted religious speakers of our time to Lexington for a special weekend of sermons and talks to be shared with our congregation and community.

We have been richly blessed by Anne’s special gift to us and eagerly anticipate this year’s speaker who will join our list of illustrious speakers from the past.
