Welcome, alumni!
Whether you graduated from one of our predecessor schools many years ago or are a more recent graduate of Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary, or have taken 12 or more credit hours, we value you as part of our alumni community.
Stay connected to the seminary and other alumni through the various resources on this page. We hope to continue to encourage you in the ministries to which you have been called.
— Janeen Bertsche Johnson (MDiv 1989; current DMin student), Alumni Director

Benefits for AMBS alumni
AMBS alumni leave our learning community with the spiritual, ethical and academic formation needed to participate in God’s reconciling mission. We are also glad to send them into their ministries with a variety of gifts to keep them rooted in the Word and growing in Christ.
ATLASerials for Alum
The AMBS library provides library resources to alumni, including the ATLASerials collection of full text articles. In ATLASerials you will find resources for biblical interpretation as well as coverage of academic and pastoral theology. Visit ATLASerials for Alum
Graduate audits
AMBS graduates may enroll in any AMBS course that is open to auditors for a reduced “graduate audit” rate. See the descriptions for upcoming courses for information about which courses are open to auditors. Please note: Online courses and hybrid courses are not available for auditing.
Vision: A Journal for Church and Theology
Each year, all members of the graduating class receive a one-year subscription to Vision: A Journal for Church and Theology. The Institute of Mennonite Studies and the AMBS Development Team hope that these gifts will encourage alumni to continue reading and research for the sake of their preaching, teaching, service and ministries in congregations and beyond. Renew your subscription
AMBS Reunions
AMBS occasionally gathers alumni for alumni reunions. Stay tuned for more information.
Alumni, your gifts make a difference!
As an alum, you know firsthand what it’s like to dive into biblical and theological studies and to be shaped as a leader as part of AMBS’s learning community.
Would you consider making a gift to AMBS to support other students as they seek to grow through both our graduate-level and Lifelong Learning options? Your contributions make it possible for current and future generations of students to experience what AMBS has to offer — both on campus and at a distance.
Thank you for all of the ways you serve as an ambassador of AMBS!
