TESTIMONIALS “The Crown M.Div. helped to prepare me mentally, emotionally, and spiritually to fulfill current and future positions.” Andrea is a paraprofessional who works with special needs kids who have mental and physical challenges. She especially enjoyed courses focused on missional living and communicating the Word of God to people in their own context. – ANDREA MACLEOD, M.Div. Graduate “My professors prepared me to practically live out all that I was learning as I shepherd God’s people. The collaborative learning environment allowed me to be molded by the experiences and insights of my peers. The academic rigor prepared me to be a lifelong learner.” Kevin is currently pastoring and studying for a Ph.D. in theology and apologetics. – KEVIN KROITOR, M.Div. Graduate & Adjunct Professor “Students who are already in ministry know experientially what they need to learn. I went back to seminary after participating in a church plant. Like me, you may have felt your shortcomings and learned from your mistakes. You are asking the right questions and are motivated to be more effective in Christ’s kingdom advancement.” – DR. ALEXANDER ZELL, Program Director
