I was challenged by others to examine my beliefs and to understand the foundation on which they were built. This only bolstered my faith. Today, through my preparation at North Park Theological Seminary, I am inspired to share that knowledge with others who ask similar questions and to learn as much as I can in order to answer as many questions and skeptics that are sent my way.

Thank you so much for this opportunity.

I came to North Park Theological Seminary as a Lutheran studying Youth Ministry but through God’s call I will leave as a Covenanter with a Masters in Divinity degree! I was drawn to North Park Theological Seminary because of the great learning environment here. I am excited about my future service in the Covenant and eager to see how God is going to use me! This would not have been possible without the Presidential Scholarship.

The Evangelical Covenant Church is where I began my journey with Jesus as a teenager, where I first preached, and where I first felt the love of Jesus through the care of God’s people. I am humbled by the generosity of God’s church in gifting me with the Presidential Scholarship as I grow more deeply into the person and pastor that God has created me to be.
