"The most meaningful part of my M.Div. program has been the accessibility and support of the Perkins faculty and staff and the relationships I’ve built with fellow students. Even as a hybrid student, I’ve felt connected, encouraged and truly part of the ÎÞÂëרÇø Perkins community. The professors have been approachable and accessible, and I have connected with some amazing classmates who have walked alongside me. Those connections have shaped my theological education, calling and ministry.”
