Peter Anderson - Excelsior Covenant Church - Excelsior, Minnesota
I decided to come to North Park Theological Seminary to live out a desire to grow in my knowledge, faith, and pursuit of God's will in my life. God has affirmed this decision in many ways. One of these ways was receiving the Presidential Scholarship. I am so blessed and thank God for His presence in my life.
Jenna Brand - First Covenant Church - St. Paul, Minnesota
I grew up in a Christian home and accepted Jesus as a child. At age 15, I realized that God shapes our lives in order to be used by Him. Previously, I thought I was too normal to do ministry. God taught me that He uses us where we are at to minister to others. I am very excited for the opportunity to study here at North Park Theological Seminary and to be a Presidential Scholarship recipient. Thank you for your support and prayers!
Catherine Buckley - Rice Creek Covenant Church - Shoreview, Minnesota
Throughout the ages, God has called men and women to ministry from various circumstances. He called Abram out of his homeland, into the unknown, and provided for his needs. With the Presidential Scholarship, I have been blessed to receive financial support as I respond to God’s call in my own life.
Grace Buckner - Rochester Covenant Church - Rochester, Minnesota
I grew up in a Covenant Church, yet never imagined pursuing a career in ministry or biblical studies. After college, however, I was clearly called to North Park Theological Seminary. Now as a Masters of Divinity student, God has been forming my life in unexpected and fulfilling ways. I am incredibly blessed and thankful for the opportunity to be here during this time of learning and discernment.
Jaron Burdick - Roseville Covenant Church - Roseville, Minnesota
I was pursuing a career in theatre education when I received my call to ministry. Convinced God wanted me in seminary but unsure of how I would pay for it, I applied to North Park Theological Seminary. It was the Covenant’s Presidential Scholarship program that made seminary possible for me.
Joshua Danielson - Salem Road Covenant Church - Rochester, Minnesota
I am humbled and honored by the generosity of those who are making my North Park Theological Seminary education possible. Attending seminary was, and often still is, a surprising chapter in my life, but I believe God will use this experience as He continues to form me into the man He wants me to be.
Thomas Dierenfeld - Evangelical Covenant Church of North Mankato - North Mankato, Minnesota
I am so thankful for the opportunity to study at North Park Theological Seminary. Without the prayer, financial support, and encouragement of so many faithful Christ followers, I would not be here today. God is so faithful, and I desire to share His love with the world for His glory and fame.
