What has been your favorite class and why? Not a fair question! The Gospels...because I felt like I was an eyewitness to Jesus' time here on Earth. Building Effective Teams and Spiritual Leadership because they challenged me and equipped me to work with people and ministry. The professors really allow you to engage!

Why did you choose Columbia International University? I wanted to know God more intimately so that I could serve Him better. No other school matched the vision and values of CIU.

What do you like best about CIU? I love the community. I love the challenge and safety of learning how to live out biblical principles with others. I love the ability to have lunch with anyone from freshmen to faculty. I love their heart and willingness to live out their vision.
