 Scripture: One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek, that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. Psalm 16:8

Personal mission: Carol is passionate about awakening a generation, calling them into their individual purpose and corporate responsibility as the hands and  feet of Christ. I believe in students, wholly given to God, living in His divine realities and living out their personal callings in their daily walk.

 Why I love my job:  

I cherish the opportunity to walk alongside our students, families, faculty and staff. There are times that involves cheering them on and dreaming of the future.  There are other times that means walking beside them through the hard times.  Either way, I have the chance to remind them that they aren’t alone.  Most importantly because the God of all creation is with them.
