While at ILT I have also found a family. The students and staff genuinely care about one another, constantly lifting one another up in prayer and encouragement. Being a student at ILT has already strengthened me in my current ministries where I serve as the youth leader, an adult Bible study teacher, and as a long-term pastoral intern in my home congregation. The education I am receiving is theologically sound and wonderfully accessible through the video conferencing technology we utilize. I am most grateful for the semesters that I have completed at ILT thus far and look forward with great excitement to finishing my Masters of Divinity degree at the Institute of Lutheran Theology.
