What Led You to Study at Kuyper College?

I transferred to Kuyper because of the College’s ministry focus. I wanted to find a college that would both develop me for ministry and give me practical career skills to use in a ministry setting. Kuyper's double major program is exactly what I was looking for, but I didn't even realize the benefits until my journey here began.

Do You Have Any Advice for Prospective Students?

Seek and you will find. God has big plans for you and if you seek His face, He will make His plans known to you. Kuyper College might be a part of that plan. If it is, great! We can't wait to have you join our community! If not, that’s ok too. God still has great things in store for you someplace else. Just remember that His plan is best – even if you have to wait awhile to figure out what it is. Be encouraged as you try to discern where God is leading you.
