Two hundred and 10 years. That’s the total number of years of service to the Seminary for the 20 members of the faculty and staff who were honored in chapel March 8 during the annual service award celebration. The honorees’ years of service ranged from five years to 25.

“Today we honor those who have served here,” Seminary President Dr. Dale A. Meyer said to the honorees during chapel. “They are precious people. They are the embodiment of Jesus as witnessing to us all.” Thank you for sharing your gifts and talents in service to the Seminary and the church!
