The activity gathered aspiring teachers from different schools across La Union, providing them with valuable strategies and techniques to improve their test-taking skills ahead of the licensure examination.

The seminar-workshop focused on enhancing studentsโ€™ testmanship abilities, including time management, critical analysis of questions, and effective answering strategies for the LET. Participants also engaged in interactive activities designed to simulate actual examination scenarios.

Among the participants, Hyacinth Rimando from the BEED group of UCC SEAS stood out during the testmanship activity. She amongst the others achieved impressive performance by ranking 1st place, only having one mistake throughout the exercise. Her achievement shows the strong preparation and academic dedication of the SEAS students.

The participation of UCC SEAS 4th year students in the CBRC seminar-workshop reflects the institutionโ€™s commitment to excellence, equipping future educators with the necessary knowledge, skills, and confidence to excel in the LET and in their future careers in teaching.

The initiative aimed to provide a safe and engaging space for dialogue, storytelling, and shared experiences within the academic community.

This yearโ€™s activity was held across multiple platforms and locations to ensure wider participation. It was conducted through blended devotion, while others took place at the deanโ€™s office, allowing faculty and students on campus to join the conversation. Meanwhile, SEAS representatives who were in Tuguegarao for the Luzon Higher Education Press Conference also participated, extending the reach of the activity beyond the institution.

The Coffee-Storyahan continues to serve as a meaningful avenue for fostering connection, amplifying voices, and celebrating the contributions and experiences of women.

Dr. Cherrel G. Ignacio, SEAS Dean, expressed her intent to sustain and further develop the initiative, with plans to hold regular or even expanded gatherings in the future to deepen community engagement.

As part of the activity, faculty members present during the activity received snacks and mini souvenirs as tokens of appreciation. These small gestures added a warm and personal touch to the gathering, reinforcing the sense of camaraderie.

Through activities like KaStory, SEAS reaffirms its commitment to inclusivity, empowerment, and the continuous support of initiatives that highlight the importance of shared narratives and collective growth.

Originally centered on reading and values formation, the program expanded to include numeracy during the 2025โ€“2026 school year to further develop learnersโ€™ academic skills.

Upon arrival, the ASTER team proceeded to their assigned classrooms, while others facilitated activities at the schoolโ€™s covered court. Students participated in question-and-answer activities with difficulty levels adjusted according to their grade level, allowing them to demonstrate what they had learned throughout the program.

Certificates were awarded to the learners by ASTER President Raya Alejandra and adviser Kim Martinez in recognition of their participation. Each student also received a book to encourage continued interest in reading and learning.

The team also distributed meals and snacks, adding to the studentsโ€™ engagement during the closing activities.

As the READVast Program concludes its journey at Sta. Monica Elementary School, it leaves behind a legacy of meaningful experiences and valuable lessons that will continue to inspire both learners and educators.

The session began with Bible story readings, where pupils participated by reading aloud and actively answering questions to enhance their comprehension. This was followed by dynamic numeracy activities; think puzzle challenges, counting games, and math problems of varying difficulty levels. Students tackled these with enthusiasm, their cheers filling the classroom as skills in addition, patterns, and problem-solving grew stronger.

The day ended with tokens of appreciation awarded to top performers from that session, recognizing their standout efforts in participation and behavior.

UCC โ€“ SERVE conducted a week-long session on Age Level Education for ETS Ministerial Students from January 19 to 23, 2026, at the Accreditation Room, Chan Building, UCC, City of San Fernando, La Union.

The lecture aimed to equip Pastors and ministerial students from Ecumenical Theological Seminary (ETS), an established partner of Union Christian College with theological foundations, developmental understanding, and practical teaching strategies for faith formation across different life stages. Emphasizing Christian education as a lifelong process, the program highlighted the importance of age-appropriate and context-sensitive approaches in church ministry.

The sessions opened with Rev. Pyke Ducusin, who lay the theological and biblical foundations of age-level Christian education, emphasizing education as lifelong discipleship. He guided students through an accessible discussion on human development and faith formation, drawing insights from key developmental theorists and relating them to Christian teaching.

Focused sessions on Childrenโ€™s Christian Education led by Maโ€™am Zoilo Salvador and Maโ€™am Jean Sacking, highlighting faith formation through story, play, ritual, and creative, age-appropriate teaching methods, as well as strong partnerships with parents and caregivers.
For Youth and Adolescent Ministry, Rev. Allen Alberca addressed the realities of identity formation, questioning, and moral development, introducing discussion-based, experiential, and socially engaged teaching strategies that resonate with young people.

Adult learning and continuing Christian formation explored by Maโ€™am Zoilo Salvador, while Dr. Grace Hope Bautista lead sessions on Intergenerational and Family-based Education, affirming the family as a vital context for faith formation.

The training further strengthens studentsโ€™ skills in Curriculum Design and Volunteer Teacher support through a session led by Sir Teofilo Damoco, focusing on sustainable educational ministries in the local church.

Through this initiative, UCC-SERVE Program through its implementing arm, the Master of Arts in Education and the School of Education, Arts, & Sciences, reaffirms its commitment to forming thoughtful, compassionate, and well-equipped Christian educators who can nurture faith meaningfully at every stage of life.

The Bible Language Celebration was held on January 21, 2024, at 3:00 PM at the Conference Hall. With the theme โ€œGodโ€™s Word Brings Life to Our Hearts and Homes,โ€ the event became a meaningful gathering of students, teachers, and guests who came together to reflect on the message of Godโ€™s Word.

The program opened with a prayer led by the SEAS and BSA students through a speech choir. Their united and sincere recitation of Psalm 100:1โ€“5 created a peaceful and prayerful atmosphere that set the tone for the whole celebration.

After the opening prayer, the Message Through Reading was shared by three fourth-year students from the School of Education, Arts, and Sciences. Rey Emmanuel Maรฑoso read Deuteronomy 30:14, Carl Begonia delivered John 3:16, and John Rhobert Lumague shared John 6:63. These readings reminded everyone of how close, powerful, and life-giving Godโ€™s Word is.

The celebration continued with a performance by the Ecumenical Theological Seminary Group, which added depth to the spiritual mood of the program. This was followed by monologue presentations from different departments, including Basic Education students. Their performances showed creativity, reflection, and a heartfelt connection to the Bibleโ€™s message.

A short reflection and synthesis was then given by Rev. Cesar C. Cadam-us. The program also included the Call to Offering and a Prayer of Thanksgiving. Students who participated in the speech choir and monologue performances were recognized, and their efforts were sincerely appreciated.

The Bible Language Celebration ended with thankful hearts and a deeper sense of faith, reminding everyone that Godโ€™s Word gives life not just through reading and speaking, but through the way we live every day.
