"After the Lord stirred my heart to further my theological education, I chose ITS because of the in-person classroom environment. Every class I’ve taken has not only grown my knowledge of, and love for the Lord and his word, but has tangibly equipped me to help our church plant with its diverse ministry opportunities, especially with the churchwide Bible study we began this spring. I don’t know what the Lord’s plans are for me but, my hope is that more women see the value in attending seminary in order to better care for and equip the women in our churches to serve the kingdom of God.
