“I’ve always had a desire to learn more about the Bible and strengthen my relationship with Jesus Christ. I love talking to people about Him and shining His light. I enrolled in the Master of Theology program because it was fully-online and affordable. I loved that the classes switched every eight weeks. I graduated from the program in nine months. I was so proud of myself!”
