I had a goal of continuing my theological studies for several years but could not seem to find the right school. I was introduced to JTS by a friend who graduated several years earlier and after looking at the programs available and the structure, I felt that this institution was best suited for me. The distance learning was definitely a big selling point for the program as the demands on my time for family and ministry did not facilitate class attendance and I do not live in the USA. I registered but still did not find the time to pursue it. The global pandemic and the resulting lockdown in my country gave me the time and because it was God’s timing, I became highly motivated and plunged into the course of study. I was really impressed by the efficient administration of the program and truly blessed by the content as it further equipped me for ministry. May the Lord continue to bless the school as it achieves its vision as directed by Him.
I received my degree from Jacksonville Theological Summary in the year of 1989. This degree has afford me the opportunity to become a Board Certified Chaplain at UF Health Jacksonville, The Director of Pastoral Care and the Director of Patient Services for the enterprise. I am a International Board member with Jacksonville Theological Summary and a member of the Board of Directors. I am proud to say all of these achievements were bestowed by God and this wonderful institution. I honor the integrity of it's leadership and it's vision and mission. thank you JTS for your service to the Body of Christ and the community at large.
My degree (Ph.D. in Christian Education) granted in 2018 has enabled me to introduce Christian Education training to my church and community. There was no Christian Education training in place. As a Certified Dean of Christian Education, (Sunday School Publishing Board, Division of Christian Education), I have been afforded the opportunity to conduct two annual Christian Leadership Schools which consist of five or more Christian Education courses with support from my pastor and other Certified Christian Education Instructors. The attendance has improved for each course x 5. Thank God for blessing me to attend and graduate from JTS with my Ph.D. in Christian Education. To God be the Glory!
I recently graduated from Jacksonville Theological Seminary (May 2019) with a Doctoral Degree in Clinical Christian Counseling and earned Licensure through the National Christian Counselors Association. My JTS Degree, NCCA licensing and certifications served to meet the requirements of a Chaplain Residency position for which I applied. I am excited to report that I was offered the position and will begin my residency in the fall of 2019. May God continue to bless JTS in a GREAT way! Many thanks to all the staff and facilitators who provided excellent support during my educational journey! Blessings!
Because I had my Masters of Divinity I was able to qualify to be Board certified as a Chaplain. This is a huge milestone in this field of ministry. I plan to publish my thesis entitled The Basics of Hospice Chaplain Ministry to be available for annual conference in November of the Association of Certified Christian Chaplains.
Transferring to Jacksonville Theological Seminary to finish my doctorate was one of the best decisions I've made. The classes are exceptional and have blessed me and my ministry greatly. The professionalism of ALL the staff is 5-star. My only regret is that I didn't transfer earlier. I would highly recommend JTS to anyone pursuing a higher education.
