Adam Clagg: "The M.A. in Youth and Family Ministry was attractive to me because of its focus on current research, timeless theological truth, and practical everyday ministry. If the classes were not taught on a modular schedule, I would not have applied."

Wes Biddy: "The instruction given in Lee’s program is conservative in the most important ways, working from a belief that the Scriptures and the key historical doctrines of Christianity remain vital for contemporary faith. Yet, it is also progressive in the best ways, understanding that the gospel is fundamentally liberating and inclusive, so that students are encouraged to think freely and critically. My time here has helped me become a more informed, capable, and responsible Christian thinker."

Sara LaMagna: "Being in class only once a month forced me to be disciplined in my personal study. I found it difficult at times to juggle the responsibilities of every day life with school/work."



 

Leslie Crawford: "Because my undergraduate degree is unrelated to the study of religion, I needed a program in which I could make up any deficiencies. For instance, I had never been exposed to Koine Greek, and because my desire was to specialize in Biblical Studies, it was necessary for me to study the language before engaging in any scholarly exegesis. Some other institutions I was considering could not offer the class at a graduate level (which was necessary for student loans), rendering me unable to concentrate in Biblical Studies. The program at Lee U. offers classes such as Biblical languages and systematic theology at the graduate level so that I could attain a strong foundation before engaging in specific theological and exegetical studies without compromising any financial aid."

Derrick Marr: "I was initially drawn to the program by the friendly and knowledgeable professors. Having gotten to know many of them in my undergraduate degree, I chose to continue my education in this environment of Christian scholarship."
