Deacon Steven Dickens
MDiv, ‘16
Willowbrook, IL
Volunteer Coordinator at Gentiva Hospice
Can you share some highlights or meaningful moments from your life since you graduated from LSTC?
I have done some research into new ways volunteers can engage with our hospice patients to make visits more meaningful for both the volunteer and the patient. I also led grief support groups at my previous hospice. Finding ways to help people get through tough times in their lives has found real meaning for me.
How has your LSTC experience shaped your journey?
It shaped my theology and ways I see the world. I feel that my time at LSTC has made me a better person and minister.
Do you have any words of encouragement for current students?
Never give up; if you experience roadblocks, keep going.
