“My wife and I moved to Wartburg from Washington state. We came to this seminary because when we visited beforehand, we were impressed by the emphasis on community – one which not only worships and learns together, but also lives in fellowship with each other. This is true for both students and their spouses and families who accompany them. I truly look forward to going to class every day and engaging with my peers inside and outside the classroom.”
