I graduated in December 2013 with a M.A. in Teaching. Now I teach for Austin Adult Learning in Austin, Minnesota. Not only did the program at Bethel fit my schedule, but the teachers and administrators also worked with me individually to help me meet my goals.

The Doctor of Ministry cohort program was an outstanding experience. It gave me unprecedented insight into leadership and personal development, and it allowed me to make new friendships that will last a lifetime.

Current job: Associate Pastor, Second Baptist Church in Houston, Texas

Bethel's Christ-centered values coupled with academic excellence must not be overlooked. My professors were personal with students while spiritually and intellectually challenging. My degree has wide applications and is uniquely equipping me in long-lasting ways for my M.Div. training.

Grad school: Talbot School of Theology (Biola University)

I was constantly performing through departmental events such as: weekly "Music Hour Recitals," orchestra and band concerts, solo and chamber recitals, semi-annual solo competitions, and yearly ensemble tours. I fell in love with the intensity of practicing and performing.
