Minnesota’s SLC Bible College/Seminary sets record: Graduates 1st batch of 17, with PhDs in Biblical Theology

Liberian Son, Father & Mom get PhDs!

It was quite a cherishing moment but remarkable also, for both graduating students, their families and loved ones, plus this prestigious U.S. Bible College & Seminary, last night when the college, for the first time (in its history of over 30 years) graduated seventeen students with PhDs. Moreover, according to the college-seminary President Dr. Joe Fornara and founder & chancellor, Dr. Judy Fornara, SLBC is so far the only institution in North America to now confer Doctorate Degrees in the field of Biblical Theology, of all the colleges and universities in America. About more than half of last night SLBC graduates turned out to be of African descent from the West African country of Liberia. Besides, the names of most of them appear quite familiar not only in the USA, but Africa, Europe and Asia as well and have been serving as pastors, bishops and apostles, running their own Ministries and uplifting the Kingdom of God. Among the Doctorate candidates were Pastor Claudius Cooper, his wife, Pastor Salome N. Cooper, and their first son, now Dr. Joseph A. Cooper. Originally from Liberia, the Coopers, many years ago, first founded Christ Center of Praise in Rhode Island, USA. Since then, God has grown other branches of the church here and in Liberia, from where they all originally hailed. Also among last night graduates is Liberia’s outstanding evangelist, Rev. Dr. Christian K. Dagadu, who received his second Doctorate in absentia, in that he couldn’t make it to the USA, to participate in the ceremony. Also, London-based Apostle Alidor Mvuala who served as guest preacher at Spiritual Life Church Saturday and Sunday, became the sole recipient of Master of Biblical Theology. Below, Global Ekklesia’s Editor-Publisher, James Kokulo Fasuekoi captured the following scenes.
