Hanna Bishop, B.A., 2015 Christian Ministry
“Just four years after receiving my degree from Regent, I had the honor of being named one of the nation's top educators. My Regent professors honed my focus on leadership, quality and innovation in education, which I use in my classroom every day.”
Lakeshia Ames, M. Ed., 2008 Educational Leadership
“Regent University was the place where my ministry was envisioned, birthed, and built up in the Spirit, during many divine appointments across the campus, at the chapel, and at the Founders Inn. Regent’s education has added many deep theological foundations to my ministry. Studying revivals and the history of renewal movements has ignited the flame in my ministry!”
Dr. Tharwat Adly Nagib, Doctor of Philosophy in Theological Studies, 2019
“Two common obstacles preventing people from reaching their dreams are fear and listening to naysayers. Regent helped me develop my calling and credentials so that I can help people move past both to achieve a positive life change.”
