Rev. Corwin Malcolm Davis — Atlanta, GAChristian Leadership, 2016
“The College of Theology and Christian Ministry served as one of my starting places for deep theological inquiry, keen critical thinking, and attentive pastoral care. Professors challenged me — and encouraged me to challenge myself — to think about how all of this combines in the efforts of serving the present age, and in the work of liberation and justice.”

Rev. Kate Harris Weishaupt — Halle (Saale), GermanyChristian Leadership, 2011
“My time at the CTCM nurtured my call to pastoral ministry by not only transforming me into a theologian but by preparing me practically for service to the Church and in the world. The professors invested in my growth, encouraged me, and enabled opportunities for me to apply what I was learning in the classroom practically, which has served as the foundation for my life and career of working for social justice, administering pastoral care and counsel, preaching of the Word, and leading and serving within Churches on three continents.”

Rev. Barrett Owen — Waynesboro, VAChristian Leadership, 2007
“The CTCM (or Religion Department as I remember it) gave me a foundation in which I still build off of today. They first introduced me to the historical-critical method for interpreting scripture as well as hermeneutics, Christian Doctrine, Ethics, and Eco-Justice. Perhaps the greatest tools they gave me were a thirst for finding and understanding my true nature through practices in Spiritual Formation as well as how to incorporate science as a resource to inform my faith. I owe a great deal to Belmont University, and the CTCM specifically, for they put in front of me a course to help me discover and love the person God made me to be.”

Nicole Brandt Minyard — Nashville, TNReligion and the Arts, 2014
“The CTCM challenged me intellectually, professionally, and personally. While in undergraduate, I began programs and filed for nonprofit status for Poverty and the Arts. As a Religion & the Arts major, I was not required to take business, marketing, or accounting classes and had to use my electives to prepare me for the arts administration and management side of my career; however, as a student in the CTCM, I was able to reflect and define the type of person I wanted to be. By studying various Christan traditions, I learned the importance of cultivating community, setting boundaries, and seeking justice. When I graduated, I continued to take classes at places like the Center of Nonprofit Management to grow my business skills, but I've never been able to find an environment that cultivates the other necessary personal and interpersonal skills I needed like I found at Belmont. I'm thankful that Belmont's CTCM focused on my whole being instead of just pushing me academically. It made me the leader, alum, friend, and community member I am today.”

Julia Crone — Durham, NCBiblical Studies, 2018
“My time in the CTCM prepared me exceptionally well for divinity school and gave me confidence in preaching, research, Biblical interpretation and theological thinking. More importantly, the CTCM gave me lifelong relationships with professors and friends and formed me to love the Lord with all my mind.”

Rev. Brandon T. Maxwell — Atlanta, GAChristian Leadership, 2009
“The College of Theology and Christian Ministry taught me to read, honor, and appreciate texts in all their forms - biblical, academic, spiritual, legal, and personal. Since graduating, this sacred practice of reading texts well has both enriched and sustained me personally and professionally.”
