Masters of Divinity, Pasadena
I began attending Fuller in 2008, after getting back from an overseas deployment in Iraq and going through a painful divorce. Although I had entertained the idea of becoming a minister, I did not think it was an option for me as a divorcee. Yet my home church recognized ...

Doctor of Missiology, Papua New Guinea
I minister in Papua New Guinea, the “land of the unexpected” where everything unusual is taken to be the norm. I have taught music for nine years in the Arts and Humanities School at Pacific Adventist University outside Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, where ...

Master of Divinity, Fuller California Coast
It is said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step,” and that is certainly true of my time at Fuller Theological Seminary. I had no idea of the difficult journey my life would take over the past few years, but I know that it was made easier and more fulfilled as ...

Master of Divinity, Pasadena
I enrolled at Fuller in the spring of 2008 with the intention of pursuing my academic interests in world religions. I wasn’t sure if Fuller was right for me, so I commuted from my home in Venice Beach and enrolled in only two classes that I imagined I might enjoy. From...

Master of Divinity, Pasadena
As graduation looms and I look back at my time here at Fuller, I can see that Fuller is more than classes. It’s more than Church History or Systematics or Exegesis. Fuller changes not only how you look at the Bible but also how you see yourself. I've changed my degree ...

MA in Global Leadership, Rwanda
I am a missionary with Evangelical Friends Mission serving in Rwanda, Africa, and I joined the Fuller MAGL program’s tenth cohort following my wife, Debby, who was in the second cohort. In one sentence, the MAGL gave us a much greater perspective in life ...

MA in Cross-Cultural Studies, Pasadena
I was not sure what to expect prior to starting my academic career at Fuller. I did not grow up in church, was fairly new to Christ, and lacked biblical knowledge. I will never forget my first day of school. I went the entire day without one person speaking ...

MA in Cross-Cultural Studies, Pasadena
I am from the Republic of Cameroon in West Africa. We came to the United States for my husband to pursue his studies at Fuller—first his master’s degree and then his PhD. I have always dreamed of going back to school, and after prayers and struggles, I decided ...

MA in Intercultural Studies, Pasadena
I started seminary later on in my ministry years. After 14 years as a missionary and seven as missions pastor in a local church, a door opened for me to study in the School of Intercultural Studies with a focus on Church History. Two months into my first class ...

Doctor of Ministry, Pasadena
My time at Fuller Theological Seminary was nothing short of life changing. I earned the Doctor of Ministry degree in September of 2010, after four and a half years of classes, papers, and prayers for help. During and after the process, I experienced ...

MS in Marital and Family Therapy (MFT), Pasadena
From the beginning, my Fuller experience has been a time of making connections. I wanted to work with families, but didn’t know a whole lot about family therapy until I started applying to graduate programs. Fuller’s application questionnaire asked questions that helped ...

MDiv and MS in Marital and Family Therapy, Pasadena
It was January 2007 when I arrived at LAX airport from Korea and came to campus directly for my first class at Fuller. Whenever I think of that evening class, I cannot hold my laughing. I tried hard to stay awake in class, but it was impossible after long hours of traveling ...

MA in Theology and Ministry, Fuller Northern California
I came to Fuller's Sacramento campus directly after having graduated from college. During this time I also accepted a position as a college/young adult pastor at a large church, and it probably goes without saying that I had a lot of growing to do. Fuller was ...

Doctor of Missiology, Hawai'i
After being a pastor for 15 years in Hawai'i, I had no idea how Fuller would come to reshape my ministry. Coming from a megachurch movement that already creatively used the arts in worship, I enrolled in 2004 in Fuller’s new Brehm Center program in Worship ...
