In March, ERSU Seminary invited former Erskine College and Seminary President Dr. John L. Carson from the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church to come lead ERSU Seminary Board of Directors in a day of intense training. At the same time, Staff members Clay Quarterman and Jos Colijn were in Holland, meeting with leaders of other seminaries across Europe.

The outcome was that all parties – Board, Staff, and seminary sponsors – were simultaneously feeling the need for renewed planning of the Future of ERSU Seminary. This does not come from dissatisfaction, but from renewed zeal after 10 years of active service – seeking to make the next decade of ERSU even more significant in the expansion of the Kingdom of God in Ukraine and beyond. Pray as we coordinate schedules to find time for this extended planning.
