Prior to coming, I felt a little bit isolated in my religious experience. So it felt good to step into a community where I could recognize the sound of the genuine in my fellow peers and cohorts as we all asked critical questions, to understand our faith and our relationship with the Lord.

I am most excited about graduating from Gammon so that I can go into full-time ministry. Gammon is known as the school of the prophets and has enabled me to have a more prophetic voice. But a voice that is also looking out into my community and seeing how best I can use my voice to change my community and in doing so, change the world

I enjoyed that part of my seminary experience more than anything else. Meeting folks that all believed in Jesus Christ but we had different ways of practicing that belief.
