UNION BIBLICAL SEMINARY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION (UBSAA)

The Union Biblical Seminary Alumni Association is an association of all the graduates, graduating students, and present academic and administrative staff of the Union Biblical Seminary, Pune. It was founded with a humble aspiration of fostering mutual fellowship and cooperation among members and extending support to the seminary.

The history of the UBSAA could be traced back to the ever first graduates of the seminary. The very first ever graduates of the seminary were the class of 1956, at G.Th. level. This was followed by the first graduates of the B.D. level in 1958. Ten years later, there were graduates from five different courses: Bachelor of Divinity (B.D.), Bachelor of Religious Education (B.R.E.), Bachelor of Theology (B.Th.), Graduate in Theology (G.Th.) and a four-year diploma for non-matriculates.

Right from the first graduates to the present, the UBS Alumni are serving and involved in different capacities in various spheres of Christian ministry. These include pastoral ministry, teaching, missionary, administration and the like. Among those who are in pastoral ministry, in particular, some are holding key positions as bishops, presidents and chairpersons of synods and conferences. The alumni also serve as tutors and supervisors of interns and tutors in the Distance Education Department. Those alumni ministering in Pune city in particular are also serving as the supervisors of the weekend ministry teams. At present, there are some Alumni Chapters; ie. the Pune Chapter, the Mumbai Chapter, and the Delhi Chapter…
