This department has given me such a deeper understanding of the world around me and the Bible’s call to action. All of my classes have helped give me a better global understanding and sense of compassion for people that I used to not care about. Being able to connect the message of the Bible to our world today is a skill that I’ll use for the rest of my life!”

At GWU, I was challenged to make my faith my own. For the first time, I found a faith that was personal and not passed down."
