What our students say about the Christian Ministry program

“The Christian Ministries program has really pushed me to think outside of the box of what I thought I knew about the church, what I knew about God, and what it means to look outside of that. Dr. Cornell has helped me understand my faith more and is always there to come alongside me not only in school but also in life.”

Elle Bolkema, Class of 2026
