President Pastor Nathan Mestler announces that International Baptist College and Seminary has received Reaffirmation III status from its accrediting agency, the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS), as of Monday, April 28, 2025. This reaffirmation status is effective for ten years. 

Pastor Nathan states, "This milestone is a testament to God’s continued faithfulness and provision for our institution. Together, we rejoice in His blessings that have guided us in our mission to serve Him and our students."

Pastor Nathan also congratulated the staff for their hard work: "I would like to extend special recognition and heartfelt appreciation to our Director of Institutional Effectiveness, Mrs. Rebecca Stertzbach. Her tireless dedication, leadership, and commitment to ensuring our adherence to rigorous standards have been instrumental in this achievement. Becky’s work exemplifies the spirit of excellence and servant leadership that typifies our team. This affirmation not only validates the efforts of every faculty and staff member but also reinforces IBCS's mission of training the next generation of leaders for the church. We still have much work to do in the days ahead to achieve the vision entrusted to us.

IBCS looks forward to building on this foundation in the coming decade.
