The excursion began with a museum dedicated to the hundred-year history of the First Baptist Church of Almaty, where students heard a detailed story about the formation of the community and the main milestones of its development. The museum stands displayed photographs of prominent figures, preachers and members of the Baptist church, among whom were those who laid down their lives for the faith during the years of persecution, as well as models of historical houses of prayer, cups for the Eucharist and ancient books.

Next, the seminarians visited the main building of the community: the house of prayer, where believers gather to perform services.
