“… growing in my spiritual life… Miss Hughes and her

kindness in helping me adjust to college life; and traveling with the choir.” – Teri (Felska ‘74) Van Schoick “… meeting my lovely wife, Ashley, and making several lifelong friends. My year at the Bible Institute was the beginning of making the Christian faith a central part of my life and

eventually sensing God's

call into full-time ministry.”

– Garth Allen ‘87

“Going to El Salvador and showing love to the children in the orphanage.”

– Jocelyn Clark ’12 & ‘14

“… probably the late- night worship sessions in the hallways of the Florida Conference Center!” – Abigail (Folmsbee ‘17) Brustle “… the Christ-like influence of the staff members. I loved being an RA under Melissa Paris in my second year, and I learned so much from Ryan Arnold. The staff was probably the highlight

of my experience.”
