Pennsylvania Bible Institute (PBI) conducted a graduation ceremony for its first eight graduates at Mahaffey Camp on Wednesday evening, July 21, 2010. Rev. Joseph Toomey presented the charge to the graduates at the 7:00 p.m. service in the Main Tabernacle. Graduates and their spouses were treated to dinner in the Mahaffey Camp dining hall before the ceremony and to handmade milkshakes at the Mahaffey Camp store following the service.
These graduates attended PBI classes at the New Stanton Alliance Church for the past three years in preparation for full-time ministry or for enriching their ministries in their local churches.
