“My training at Foster College has been immensely helpful to me due to the strong foundation it provided. When I entered Southwestern Seminary as a graduate student, I felt thoroughly prepared and not intimidated in the least. Foster College goes above and beyond most colleges. The professors are relatable, hands-on, extremely approachable, and have a keen understanding of the ministry and cultural context in which I serve daily.”
