Connect with God

“In every class I’ve taken—math, literature, whatever—there have always been points in class where the subject somehow connects back to my faith.”

Todd, Junior

There are a lot of faculty members who are really open with students about their faith. This is a university that’s not just concerned with academic and social activities but with spiritual development of students. In every class I’ve taken—math, literature, whatever—there have always been points in class where the subject somehow connects back to my faith. Then, there are the Christian Studies courses. I learned so much in my Bible Interpretation class. I was really amazed by it.

Also, in other areas of my life, I’ve found a lot of encouragement for my spiritual development. In my work study job, the ladies who work in the office are always asking about what’s going on at church. When I leave the dorm on Sunday morning, Mom Jackson (the head resident) tells me to enjoy church. I’ve been involved in Bible study groups with friends on campus.

There are so many opportunities in this community for ministry involvement and so much encouragement. You can really find whatever you’re looking for. Campus Ministries has things available for anyone who’s interested. The biggest problem is deciding what you’re going to do and what you’re not going to do.
