Christ Seminary-Seminex MDiv, ‘76
Ames, IA
Retired
Can you share some highlights or meaningful moments from your life since you graduated from LSTC?
I graduated from Christ Seminary, Seminex in 1976. The Seminex experience impacted my whole life and ministry, emphasizing gospel preaching and fulfilling Christ’s mission through the church. I’m deeply grateful to have been shaped by this disruptive, grace-filled experience while in seminary.
Do you have any words of encouragement for current students?
Don’t stop sermon preparation until you’ve found the gospel in the text for the day. Emphasize mission and ministry in each call situation. Remember: God’s work, our hands.
