Alumni Stories

I recently got to plant a church in Columbus, Ohio, and much of that DNA was formed in my senior seminar project as my ministry degree capstone. It is really cool to see a dream and idea become tangible fruit five years later. It just shows that what students are doing and learning at Judson will have not only lifelong impact, but eternal impact.”
