June and July were busy months for our Specific Ministry Pastor (SMP) students! More than 60 men traveled from congregations and ministries to campus for intensive courses June 26-30, the conclusion of their SMP studies that began in the fall of 2013. Due to scheduling constraints, a smaller group of SMP students completed their classes two weeks later, July 11-14, on campus.

Both weeks ended with special chapel services, June 30 and July 14, to celebrate the course completions. SMP is a four-year program in which men receive theological education in the setting where they will continue to serve. Congratulations and God’s blessings to all!
