A Legacy of Faithfulness
by Staff Writers on Mar 4, 2026
The 2026 Annual Banquet was a wonderful opportunity to honor those who are part of the legacy of IBCS. Several graduates gave testimonies of God's leading in their lives since going out from IBCS. We even heard from one of our first third-generation IBCS students!
IBCS President Pastor Nathan Mestler says, "The legacy of the alumni of International Baptist College and Seminary is seen in lives faithfully poured out in service to Christ and His church. Their impact is not measured merely by positions held or places reached, but by steady faithfulness, doctrinal conviction, and a clear desire to glorify God in every sphere of life. Through decades of ministry and service, IBCS alumni have demonstrated that a Bible-centered education produces servants who endure, influence others for good, and leave a lasting testimony of obedience and Gospel faithfulness. Our alumni are the true legacy of IBCS."
Pastor George Binoka (B.A. '16, M.Div. '20) challenged the attendees to further gratitude to God, encouraging them to consider carefully the legacy of gratitude to further generations of IBCS students.
During his comments, Pastor Nathan announced a "reboot" of the IBCS Alumni Association. IBCS is excited to move forward in connecting (and reconnecting) with its graduates around the West and the world.
