Student Testimonies

Do you want to know what alumni and current students have to say about their Taylor Fort Wayne education? Here are some examples of how we have shaped student callings through the Christian Ministries programs.

Taylor University Fort Wayne instilled the words of the scriptures in me through weekly worship, preaching, and Bible courses.

— Nathan Strunk '00, Pastoral Ministries

When you graduate from Taylor University Fort Wayne, you know what you believe — and why. Because you’ve been challenged, you’ve had to work your faith out. It’s a life-changing experience.

— Bob Schultz '98, Pastoral Ministries

The academics, the practical ministry experience, the semester I spent in Chicago, and the best friends of my life — they all combined to make my college experience at TUFW outstanding.

— Joshua Lee '02, Urban Ministries

Since our campus is in an urban area, it is easy to be involved with outside ministries and church groups. I have volunteered at a homeless shelter for women and children and an after-school program for inner-city children.

— Lori Current '04, Christian Ministries

Taylor Fort Wayne has provided me with many opportunities that I may not have had at another university. In the past three years, for example, I have been blessed with the chance to do missions in Jamaica through Taylor World Outreach. TUFW has been a great place for growth — spiritually, emotionally, and vocationally.

— Beth Manon '04, Psychology

Taylor professors were not interested in shuffling students into very specific careers, nor did there seem to be any sense of favoritism. Instead, students were encouraged to work from their gifts to positions where they will best be utilized. But most importantly, the act of being relational was not lost in the process of finishing a degree and it seemed to truly be a focus there.
