David Bjorlin - First Covenant Church - Mason City, Iowa
Seminary always seemed like an unattainable goal, but thanks to the financial support offered by the Presidential Scholarship, I have been able to continue studying God’s word and concentrate on future ministry decisions rather than financial ones. It allows me to continue to search for how I am to be a part bringing God's kingdom down on earth as it is in heaven. Thank you!
Brad Frost - Castle Oaks Evangelical Covenant - Castle Rock, Colorado
I knew that I was called to ministry after finishing my undergraduate studies, and was convinced that seminary was a necessary step. I did not know how it would be financially feasible until I was blessed with the Presidential Scholarship. I look forward to my time and ministry at North Park Theological Seminary!
Tyler Johnson - Hope Covenant Church - El Dorado, Kansas
I grew up in the Evangelical Covenant Church. Recently God called me to go into full-time ministry. My family and I were excited about the call, but had no idea how it would be possible. The Presidential Scholarship has allowed us to pursue God’s call and we are extremely grateful.
Zach Lovig - First Covenant Church - Fort Dodge, Iowa
As much as I’ve appreciated this experience, I stop and remind myself that this wonderful journey might not have been possible without the blessing of the Presidential Scholarship. To those who have donated, I offer my thanks. For those considering donation, I hope you know that your contribution can make all the difference in the world.
Heather McMillan - First Covenant Church - Mason City, Iowa
Through various circumstances, times in prayer, and the confirmation of friends, I could not steer clear of the fact that God has given me a heart to study His Word. I am grateful for the Presidential Scholarship, because it enables me to refine my gifts and skills as I seek to communicate the message of the cross with the world around me.
Jason Mohn - First Covenant Church - Salina, Kansas
After fifteen years of leadership as a worship pastor, I realized that God was calling me to an increased level of spiritual leadership. Receiving North Park Theological Seminary’s Presidential Scholarship provided the impetus I needed to make the difficult decision to uproot my family and return to full-time seminary studies.
Jeremy Wright - First Covenant Church - Salina, Kansas
The Presidential Scholarship has taken the pressure off of our financial obligation through this endeavor and helped my wife see that a career in ministry is where God is leading us. For me, I think it showed me that I should be using the abilities, intellect, and desire to be the best for the One from which they come.
