Student Connect

Greetings,

My name is Pamela Dirden, and I am a new student. I am a little nervous, as well as excited to be a part of the Ph.D. Biblical Studies program at QCT. I am originally from Cleveland, Ohio, by way of Pennsylvania, and I currently reside in Charlotte, NC. I was blessed to be married for seventeen years before God called my husband home 3yrs ago. I am the proud mother of two sons from our union, and we are all blessed.

I am a current High School teacher for CMS public school district, and I have been walking in my calling to teach for almost 20 years. I believe this experience will allow me to walk into my spiritual calling of education ministry, as I am looking forward to learning so much more about God's word. I pray this experience is as wonderful, and enlightening as I believe…

Hi there! I'm excited to be joining you all in the Master in Ministry program and grateful for the opportunity to dive deeper into the study of God's Word.

I look forward to interacting with y'all soon.

Shelly

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” - Mark 12:30

Feddes’ challenge reminds us to evaluate how deeply our love for Jesus shapes our decisions, relationships, and daily lives. Genuine love for Jesus compels us to devotion, worship, and selfless acts that glorify Him.

Heavenly Father, thank You for revealing Your love through Jesus. Help me to love You with all my heart, soul, mind and strength. Teach me to respond to Jesus’…

I am enjoying reading all of the wonderful posts. Thanks to all of you.
