Named Spiritual Life Seminary of Bible Theology, the “Rabbi Class of 2022” became the school’s second graduation since the Bible College/Seminary moved to its new campus in Calwell, near Point Four, Bushrod Island, Monrovia. 

Graduation ceremonies took place at Don Stewart Christ Pentencostal Church in Point Four, Bushrod Island. About 200-300 people attended the program, according to a local pastor. 

This batch of SLSBT graduates came from all over the country except Montserrado, Margibi, Grand Gedeh and Gbarpolu Counties.

A special message from the institute’s president in the United States, Rev. Dr. Joseph Fornara, read in parts: “I strongly believe you are amongst the many persons God is raising through and by the Spiritual Life Seminary to impart your generation in Liberia and the world at large.” 

He pointed out that “the seminary was founded to increase the wisdom and knowledge of God in the man and woman of God to accomplish their jobs with excellence.” Dr. Joe Fornara and his wife, Dr. Judy Fornara are founders of Spiritual Life Church, Bible College & Seminary in Minnesota, USA.

He prayed for God’s “blessing and anointing” to rest upon all of the newly graduates in Liberia.

The US based SLC-Bible College & Seminary goal of establishing a branch in this part of West Africa, came to fruition March 14, 2017, through the assiduous work of its alumni stationed in Liberia, Rev. Dr. Christian K. Dagadu, Sr. 

Dr. Dagadu initially served as the seminary’s first director and later passed on the duty to Pastor Cooper, currently based in the U.S. and oversees several churches in Rhode Island and Boston, Massachusetts. Pastor Cooper turned it over to Rev. Watson.
