What made you choose LSTC?
I was drawn to LSTC for their commitment to social justice and inclusion for all God’s people. I also chose LSTC because I will have the ability to pursue seminary while also continuing my current role in youth ministry at Edgebrook Lutheran.
What people and communities helped you to get here?
I am very grateful for the mentorship of Pastor Christina Garrett Klein, the support from my community at Edgebrook, and my youth who have all played a significant role in helping me hear my call into rostered ministry. I am also thankful for the people and experiences I’ve had at Covenant Point Bible Camp and North Park University which led me into ministry in the first place. Lastly, I wouldn’t be able to be in this place without the support of the ELCA and Fund for Leaders program.
What do you hope to learn during your time at LSTC?
While at LSTC I hope to continue my discernment and get clarity on where God is calling me next. Along the way I hope to strengthen my ministerial leadership skills and deepen my biblical knowledge.
