"The GSTM program at CMU afforded me such flexibility in pursuing my degree, both in terms of my course options and timeline, that it allowed me to carve out and pursue my desired area of study, all while having a job on the side. Rather than prescribing a degree with rigid requirements, it let me ask myself what I wanted out of my studies, and then helped me develop the tools to accomplish it."

– Andrew Klassen Brown

"I found myself going home excited about what I'm learning because I saw my learning actually affecting not just my work, but my life in general—my conversations, the way I go about my day. My GSTM experience was transforming me into a more faithful leader. I found inspiration in my professors as people who are living out what they say they believe. This gives me such hope and encouragement."

– Andrea De Avila

"My GSTM studies have enabled me to dive into questions of my faith and form a deeper connection with God. I've encountered refreshing insights into theology and the church that I've been able to share in diverse settings. CMU's one-week intensive and online courses give the needed flexibility and opportunity for someone from a distance to be a part-time graduate student while in full-time pastoral ministry."

– Doug Klassen

"I was drawn to the Graduate School of Theology and Ministry because of my faith. It was there that I became more aware of, and better able to articulate, my theological convictions that include non-violent peace-building. My theological training at CMU has enabled me to take my current role from simply being a job to being in ministry through which I serve God in this world."
