In 2025, Mennonites and other Anabaptists celebrate 500 years since the first believers gathered in secret, launching a renewal movement grounded in adult baptism, pacifism, discipleship and church-state separation. This anniversary invites reflection on how “true evangelical faith” is lived out at Goshen today — on campus, through alumni contributions and in a renewed vision for faith formation.

ABOUT THE COVER
Unable to be on campus in person, the 218 members of the Goshen College Class of 2020 were each honored in a virtual commencement ceremony on April 26, 2020 — the first commencement in our 125-year history to be solely held virtually. This mosaic featuring each of their photos is a tribute to this incredible class, whose final year was cut short when they were thrown a curveball that no one saw coming. Their perseverance, versatility and resilience is an inspiration to us all. Congratulations Class of 2020!
