Heidi Behm - Thornapple Covenant Church - Grand Rapids, Michigan
Three years ago, I decided to place my faith in God and since then I have been on a journey that continuously amazes me with God's unfailing love, faithfulness, and provisions for my life. Receiving the Presidential Scholarship brought clarity to my decision to attend seminary as deep down I knew I couldn't pass up this opportunity.

“If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that” (James 4:15). Following Christ faithfully, as Abram followed God’s call, is to commit to a journey that is not always entirely manifest. Your generosity provides my family with so much more freedom and peace on our journey of discerning God’s will for our lives. Thank you.

I chose North Park Theological Seminary because of the values of the Evangelical Covenant Church, the unique program offerings, such as the dual degree program I am participating in (Masters of Divinity/Masters of Management in Nonprofit Administration) and the setting within a world-class city with great opportunities for learning and service. My education is possible because of the Presidential Scholarship program and I am grateful for it!

While becoming active in my local congregation and helping to start a new Covenant Church, I realized God was calling me to full-time ministry. Because of the Presidential Scholarship, my wife and I are able to pursue ministry. We look forward to serving in the Covenant together upon graduation.

It has enabled me to engage fully in a holistic, Church-oriented education. I am honored to be a part of the Evangelical Covenant Church and hope to serve the kingdom of God through it.

What a blessing it is to come to North Park Theological Seminary and not have to worry about paying tuition! I feel affirmed and blessed to have people, many who don’t know me, who are willing to support my calling in life and trust that God has led me here.

The Presidential Scholarship allows God to make and mold me in the context of a caring group of people, students and professors alike, at North Park Theological Seminary. Together, we will continue discerning my call and in what way I will serve in this world that is being redeemed.
