First English-language cohort completes Foundations of Faith
More than 30 young adults have completed the year-long English-language "Foundations of Faith" programme at Seattle Bethany Church.
The graduation was held during the church's English service in June, followed by a prayer of dedication over the graduates.
The English cohort matters for a seminary built to serve Slavic churches in the United States: it opens IBS teaching to the second generation, who often worship and study in English while remaining part of the same congregations.
