On Monday, September 10, 2012, Dr. Jaime Castrejon, president of the Inter-American Theological Seminary (IATS), addressed the ministers from the Atlantic Caribbean Union Mission (ACUM) on matters relating to IATS and their continued education.

The event, which was sponsored by the ministerial department of the union, was held at the union’s headquarters on Gladstone Road, New Providence. The pastors from the South Bahamas Conference were present at the venue while pastors from the North Bahamas Conference, the Cayman Islands Conference, and the Turks and Caicos Islands Mission joined in the session via Webex. 

In his opening address, Dr. Castrejon gave a brief history of the IATS. He noted that the seed for IATS was planted as far back as 1979, when the ministerial department of Inter-American Division (IAD) offered courses for continuing education credits for its ministers. Today, IATS offers degree programs at 10 universities throughout the IAD.
