(Los Angeles, CA)– Next Dimension University, an accredited Bible College based in Ontario, California, is slated to have its most celebrated commencement exercise to date, Saturday, August 15, 2015 at 3PM at the West Angeles Cathedral, located at 3600 Crenshaw Blvd in Los Angeles, CA.

 

Gospel music greats Yolanda Adams, Fred Hammond, Hezekiah Walker and Judy Jacobs are among several people slated to be bestowed honorary doctorate degrees for their long, distinguished works in ministry. Former NFL quarterback-turned pastor, Randall Cunningham and minister/former reality TV star Omarosa Manigaultwill also receive honorary doctorates.

More than 150 people will graduate and be honored during the festivities.Dr. Cecil L. “Chip” Murray, the longtime former pastor of First AME Church of Los Angeles is the commencement speaker. “I am utterly thrilled and trembling knowing that I was chosen to address the people of God,” he said via a phone conversation from his office on the campus of the University of Southern California. “This is an awesome assembly and it’s going to be a great honor to stand before them on Holy ground.”

The graduation will serve as a platform to introduce Southern California and the world to the nine-year-old university. “There’s a deficit in our society of academic literacy. Before people can become Biblically literate, they must know how to read. We have developed a new program to bring them up to speed,” said the chancellor from his NDU headquarters. “We have to be successful in recruiting new Bible students and we believe the commencement program will help us do just that.”

Big name honorees like Adams, Hammond, Walker, Cunningham, plus other notables participants including Dr. Frederick K. C. Price, Sr., Dr. Jack Hayford, Dr. Michelle Corral, Dr. Michael Fisher and Bishop Clarence McClendon promises to bring new Christian credibility to the university as it continues its upward growth. Bishop Noel Jones, State Senator Isadore Hall and Bishop George D. McKinney, Jr are among the past participants and supporters of NDU.

The event begins with a red carpet at West Angeles at 12 noon, a reception, then the graduation and ends with a banquet featuring the music of Phil and Brenda Nicholas at USC’s Ronald Tutor Campus Center Ballroom, located at 3607 Trousdale Parkway in LA.
