Betela Seminary Dedicates New
Student Housing
The dedication of the new student
housing at Betela Seminary took place on June 19, 2005, the same day as the
graduation celebration for the pastoral students. Joining in the celebration
were visitors from the Rocky Mountain Synod who were in the midst of their visit
to the Rocky Mountain Synod's companion synods. Representatives of the seminary
have expressed their gratitude to those who contributed to the first phase of
the construction project. Phase two of construction could begin later this
year.
