Presently, I am pursuing a master's degree in care and counseling. My experience with the College of Athens faculty has been an invested in their students. This is evident by the quality of their weekly classes and their care and concern both in and outside the classroom. The college also offers volunteer opportunities in local ministries. I have served in an addiction recovery program, a homeless shelter, and an event held annually called Serve Athens. This has enabled me to help local families, area churches, and the college's own thrift store. College of Athens has brought fulfillment to me as a student and a servant of God.
I received my master's degree in Christian leadership from the College of Athens. The faculty is excellent, and they provide a great learning environment. In addition to the classroom, I experienced so many other wonderful things that helped me to grow, such as our domestic mission trip, our annual service day in the community, prayer ministry, the conferences, and volunteering at our thrift store.
