How Faith Prepared Me: “When I attended Faith, some of my most precious memories are of our group of ladies in Mrs. Hartog’s Women’s ministry class, pouring over God’s Word in Bible Study. The preeminence of God and His Word in everything we do was emphasized really in every single class at Faith. Now, when I have the privilege to love and teach the girls and ladies in my local church, I treasure that time of intense Scriptural training even more. This world is messy, but God’s Word always offers hope. I can’t think of a better practical preparation for ministry than instilling in students a love for God’s Word. I am thankful that my professors took the time to do just that.”
