I graduated in 2008 from Luther Rice University (LRU) with a Bachelor of Arts in Religion degree. I am now enrolled with New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary (NOBTS) in the Master of Divinity degree program. LRU has been used of God to equip me for a biblical, relevant, and Christ-centered ministry in the 21st Century. I was afforded a variety of learning environments, (i.e., classroom instruction, modules, and on-line courses) that fit my busy schedule as a full-time pastor, all without sacrificing the quality of my education. The godly influence of the faculty is felt in my life and ministry every day. I recommend LRU without reservation to anyone who wants a conservative theological education from a premiere institution.
