WHAT MADE YOUR LUTHERAN NORTH EXPERIENCE SPECIAL?
The staff! My teachers were all amazing people that encouraged my learning both in the classroom and in my walk with God!
WHAT WILL YOU MISS MOST ABOUT YOUR TIME AT LUTHERAN NORTH?
I’m going to miss the Christian environment. Having both chapel and a theology class provided an easy opportunity for me to grow in my faith daily.
WHICH TEACHER OR STAFF MEMBER AT LUTHERAN NORTH MADE A NOTABLY POSITIVE IMPACT ON YOU?
So many! I’m going to say Mr. Horvath because he truly helped me get way closer to God than I ever had been before. He was always willing to help me and answer questions, and I don’t know if he will ever know how much I genuinely appreciated that.
WHAT QUALITIES, ATTRIBUTES AND/OR SKILLS ARE YOU TAKING AWAY FROM YOUR EXPERIENCE AT LUTHERAN NORTH?
Confidence - both in myself and in my faith. I am ready to defend my faith and bring others to Christ.
