Adam Kovach's Story
- Christian Studies Degree
“As a ministry major, one of the reasons that I’ve stayed here is my professors. I can definitely see that they’re passionate about what they’re teaching. My professors told me that their main focus wasn’t on tests, but on challenging and equipping students to develop their own theology. They said that they don’t want to teach at students, but to grow with them as they learn from us too. They challenged me to think about why I believe what I believe. From my freshman to senior year, I can tell that I have grown and matured so much both in my faith and who I am as a person.”
