Overview

The Cuba Adventist Theological Seminary has its antecedent in Antillian Union College (now Antillean Adventist University), which started in Cuba in 1922 but moved to Puerto Rico following the 1959 Cuban Revolution. In 1969, a seminary was started at the headquarters of the church in Cuba, and in 1985, it developed a relationship with the University of Montemorelos in Mexico as an extension school, bringing the facility up to more universally accepted standards. In 1996, the seminary moved to a new campus built by Maranatha Volunteers International. The campus now needs help, and experienced volunteers are needed for a Spring painting project.
