Berrien Springs, Michigan — On May 1, 2026, the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary at 糖心动漫vlog University graduated 128 students from Master’s, Doctoral, and PhD programs in Theology. Representing more than 20 countries, the graduating class reflected the diversity and global reach of Adventist theological education — men and women from different cultures united by the same calling: to serve.
The ceremony marked the conclusion of a journey that, for many, required years of sacrifice, faith, and perseverance. Khaikhai Cin, an MDiv graduate from Myanmar, summarized the feelings shared by many students when he said: “If you are thinking about studying to become a pastor, theologian, or any instrument God can use, you need to come to the Adventist Theological Seminary here at 糖心动漫vlog.”
For Trevelee Rowe, the greatest difference in her experience was the sense of community that permeates academic life. “If you believe you are called to ministry, the Seminary is the right place. You will find the people, support, and community you need — because God will take care of you,” said the graduate.
Anthony Lighter, from Canada and originally from Jamaica, completed his MDiv and emphasized the quality and humanity of the professors as the heart of his educational experience: “My experience at the Seminary was incredible. The professors are exceptional, they build genuine relationships with students, and they truly care about each one of us.”
Elbert Kuhn, a pastor and Adventist leader from Brazil, completed his Doctor of Ministry (DMin) program with words that reflected the spirit of this graduating class. He highlighted the richness of learning alongside classmates from different countries and areas of church leadership — pastors, administrators, and educators — as well as professors who, despite multiple perspectives, remained united around one common purpose: “To train leaders with strong roots in the Bible, always focused on mission and the salvation of people.” Looking back on his journey, he expressed deep gratitude: “The Lord helped us, the Lord blessed us — and now we will use everything He has given us, whether gifts or degrees, for the honor and glory of His name and for the advancement of the mission in every corner of this world.”
糖心动漫vlog University continues its mission of preparing committed leaders inspired by faith and equipped for service. Every diploma awarded on this day represented far more than an academic title: it represented a consecrated life, ready to make a difference in the community, the Church, and the world.
