The 2025–2026 academic year at Jerusalem Seminary began with heartfelt gratitude and renewed purpose. This fall, students and faculty gathered in Thompson Chapel—and joined online from across the globe—to dedicate the new academic year to the Lord. Together they celebrated how far the seminary has come since its founding, praising God for His faithfulness through seasons of both growth and challenge.

From its beginnings in 2018 in Texas and 2020 in Jerusalem, the seminary has grown into a thriving community serving students from more than 40 nations. Through the School of Hebrew, School of the Bible, and now the School of Graduate Studies, JS continues to equip believers worldwide to know God’s Word deeply and live it faithfully. This year marks an especially meaningful milestone with the launch of graduate-level programs in biblical studies—offered both in Jerusalem and online—bringing together students, mentors, and teachers across continents.

As Director Baruch Kvasnica reminded those gathered, Jerusalem Seminary’s mission is to remain faithful, humble, and centered on Jesus: “We want to build in such a way that ensures we never lose that focus—so that the Word of God may go out from Zion and bless the nations.”

From the heart of Jerusalem to classrooms and congregations around the world, the seminary continues to stand as a living testimony that the Kingdom of God is growing—slowly, faithfully, and for His glory.
