Happy New Year From Mekane Yesus Seminary!

As we begin this new year, may Jesus Christ—remain at the center of our faith, our study, and our calling. May the Holy Spirit draw us daily into the Scriptures, that we may read, meditate, and cling to God’s Word, and so be shaped for faithful witness and service in Christ’s Church.

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
— Colossians 3:16

Mekane Yesus Seminary successfully conducted its 2025 Annual Review and 2026 Annual Plan Retreat Meeting from December 26–28, 2025, for three days at Yatu International Hotel, Bishoftu.

The retreat brought together the Seminary’s leadership and key academic and administrative officers, including the President and Academic/Vice President; Deans of Graduate and Undergraduate Studies; Dean of Students; Alumni and Chaplaincy Office; Directors of Planning and Development, Operations, MTh & PhD Programs, MYS-GTRP, and other academic units; Associate Deans of DoDE, TEE, and Music & Media/Film; as well as the Head of the National Theological Education Accreditation Office.

During the meeting, all program directors presented their 2025 annual performance reviews and outlined their 2026 annual plans. Constructive comments, reflections, and suggestions were shared to enhance program effectiveness and to further strengthen the Seminary’s academic and institutional future.

In addition to the review and planning sessions, the Seminary leaders also conducted a visit to the Bishoftu Campus as part of the retreat activities.

The retreat meeting was successfully completed, fostering mutual learning through shared experiences and collaborative discussions. Participants gained valuable insights from one another, reinforcing a culture of teamwork and continuous improvement. This practice will continue as Mekane Yesus Seminary moves forward in strengthening its vision and mission in service of the Church in Ethiopia and beyond.

Student Documentaries – More Coming Soon!

From the seven outstanding Church History final projects created by our Music and Media students, we’re excited to share two documentary-style videos that highlight exceptional creativity, storytelling, and technical skill.

These projects reflect how students used the talents God has entrusted to them to bring history to life. The remaining student videos will be posted soon, so stay tuned!

Amazing Work from Our Music and Media Students

Today, seven Music and Media student groups showcased their Church History final projects through documentary-style videos, using the talents God has entrusted to them to bring history to life. Their creativity, storytelling, and technical skill made this presentation both inspiring and impactful.

These projects now serve as a model for future students studying Church History and other courses. We proudly congratulate our students and extend special appreciation to their Instructor for outstanding guidance and mentorship.

Well done to everyone involved—we are so proud of you!
