Emily Wells, Montreat College
“Montreat College gave me a great foundation for copywriting, professional writing and even creative writing, and that set me up really well for the workforce. I was also a part of their honors program and that ended up being a huge enhancement to my overall education.”
Chaplain Louis A. DelTufo, Evangel University
“I learned how to integrate my Christian faith into all aspects of my life. It’s easy for one to compartmentalize their faith, however, each of us must learn how to be a whole person, using our heart, soul, mind and strength, in all areas of our lives as we serve Jesus.”
Nate Stevens, University of Northwestern – St. Paul
“Having a Christ-centered education helped me frame my view of ‘work’ and how I provide more Kingdom value in the marketplace. It is not my professional prowess or expertise but rather my reflection of the Gospel in my daily interactions that makes me an effective teammate, employer and business partner.”
Victoria Mendez Garcia, Fresno Pacific University
“Going to FPU helped me find my purpose, and I don’t know if that would have happened at another school. I don’t think I would have had such a spiritual journey anyplace else.”
