APPLY TO MESSIAH

Meet six 2015 graduates

Prepared for lives of service, leadership and reconciliation, these six graduates—along with the rest of the Class of 2015—have completed the journey from students to alumni. But in every other way, the journey has just begun. They now must share with the world what they have learned. Already, they are making their way, following their calling while being a faithful presence in society. Whether they’re bearing witness locally or traveling thousands of miles from campus, the Messiah experience rests in the hearts of these steadfast sons and daughters of God.
