Milford, Ohio—On Sunday, May 8, 2022, Ambassador Bible College held its 23^rd commencement ceremony for the students of the ABC class of 2022. At the start of the ceremony, the 16 students filed through an arch decorated with greenery, flowers and twinkle lights. ABC Coordinator Dr. Frank Dunkle began the formal ceremony with the invocation, before Class President Matthew Rains took the stage to deliver the student body president’s address, in which he congratulated his fellow classmates on a year of great growth, and encouraged them to take the lessons they had learned this year and use them throughout their lives.

The ABC choir, directed by ABC Choir Director Ken Shoemaker and ABC Choir Assistant Chad Browning, sang two songs before Mr. Kubik delivered the president’s address, which was one of encouragement and personalized to the class of 2022. Following Mr. Kubik’s speech, Aaron Dean, and Jorge and Kathy de Campos joined him on stage for the presentation of the awards. Awards given for exemplary conduct and service were presented to Ariella McNally and Brian Styer.

Following this, the presentation of the diplomas began. Students crossed the stage to receive their diploma from Mr. Kubik, exiting the stage as graduates of Ambassador Bible College.

During the post-graduation celebration, students gathered on the lawn outside the home office for the annual balloon send-off and group photos. Families and friends followed the students outside for more photos and congratulations. All in attendance also enjoyed sparkling cider, cake and a charcuterie board the size of a large banquet table, courtesy of Kathy de Campos and ABC kitchen manager Micah Gunn.
