It was a great blessing to participate in ministerial training locally, to share this spiritual journey and develop life-long

 relationships with ministers, teachers and fellow students. I am deeply grateful to Rev. Dr. Cay Thompson, who founded the regional campus and worked faithfully demonstrating unconditional Love to all. Thank you to each one who continues the Good work making it possible for others to answer the call into ministry serving a world that works well for everyone.– Rev. Deborah Bevilacqua-Stork

 

We originally started at the South Florida Campus under the loving direction and support of Dr. Rev. Cay Thompson. After her transition, we looked at different campuses, met with different deans, and after meeting Rev. Kathryn Knox, we knew that Florida was where we belonged. To date, Rev. Kathryn has been extremely supportive, always willing to work with schedules, and creating retreats that allow students to limit multiple travel thus limiting the cost of the overall educational expenses. Her knowledge of academic requirements has proved invaluable as she supports us administratively to meet the requirements for graduation. The dedicated teaching staff has always enriched our experiences with each class taken and their personal touch has always added to the overall class experience. We also find it empowering how all of the students support each other during and outside of class. We highly recommend this campus to anyone choosing a ministerial journey.

Revs. Ed Tanzi and George Stewart

 

 I initially chose the Florida campus because of convenience and financial savings, since I actually live in Florida. As a third year student, I had opportunities to compare my learning experience with peers from other campuses and I feel particularly blessed to be receiving my ministerial education in Florida. Our administrative support has been outstanding – professional, nurturing and personalized for each student. Instructors are practical and knowledgeable, class schedules are convenient and retreats have been extraordinary events. But, perhaps the greatest blessing has been the friendships and love shared among all those in the Florida campus. It has been a gift I will cherish the rest of my life. –

Rev. Cindy Grimes

 

I chose Florida Campus because of its East Coast proximity, the instructor’s care, and commitment to my growth, development, unfolding, education, and training as a Licensed Minister.
I find all instructors easy to talk with, they are great listeners as well as speakers, teachers, educators, and creative in ways of presenting the material.
I feel a deep sense of connectedness with my classmates and I know there is a lifelong bond that has been created. We recognize the shared intention and support each other now and in years to come.
I fully trust our campus’s administrative support and I know we are on the right track, getting the right courses for our curriculum, and there is ease and availability in registering for my classes. We have mandatory student retreats and I know this is the best ‘mandatory’ anything I have ever had to do financially, the necessary and elective courses have been presented in a way that allows me to meet my ‘obligations in a timely and affordable manner. –  Rodney Gittens

 

The depth of relationship and the openness of sharing amongst the students and with the faculty is surprising, amazing, and wonderful. Talking to students from other regions, I do not have the understanding that they have the same student-to-student relationships and warm friendships that we have been able to develop here due to our size and the attitudes of our faculty members. In all the technical areas, the local, administrative support has been excellent. Gerry Greig
