However, you will be taught how to do a proper term paper and book critique, in one of the courses, in case you go on to Seminary or transfer to a different College.

- Pursuing God Together, Learning to Serve Together, being Encouraged by peers and Discipled by the staff. Iron sharpening iron, united by our common pursuit and mission.
