In this issue of The Messenger, Mid-America Reformed Seminary shares highlights from a milestone-filled close to the 2025–2026 academic year. Readers will find coverage of the 41st commencement ceremony, the exciting news of Dr. Paul Ipema's newly completed doctorate, and a full list of seminarians heading into summer ministry placements across North America. The feature article by Dr. J. Mark Beach brings his four-part series on pastoral leadership to a close with a rich and practical look at the work and spiritual formation of elders. Also included are a presidential message from Dr. Alan Strange on the unity of the human race, a development report with an update on the seminary's financial goals, an alumni profile of 1988 graduate Leo de Vos reflecting on nearly four decades of faithful ministry in New Zealand, and a preview of what's coming up on MarsCast.
