“I graduated from Regent University with a M.A. in Practical Theology. As I stand at the doorstep of my calling, I can see now how every lesson and interaction has prepared me.”
Son-Djerry Cameus, M.A. in Practical Theology, 2020 Community Navigator/Family Coach, La Esperanza
“When I began my time at Regent, I had no idea of what “after” might look like. I just knew that now was the time and Regent was the place. My time at Regent was a deeply formative experience. Through my studies, my capacity for study has increased, my teaching gifts have been further developed, and I operate with a level of confidence I didn’t know that I had before. Regent equipped me for Africa, and my ministry in Africa has equipped me for my ministry at Regent and in my local church in Virginia Beach.”
Melissa Davis, Doctor of Philosophy in Renewal Theology, 2023
“In 2015, the Lord began stirring our hearts that it was time to leave everything familiar behind and move here to pursue our degrees at Regent.”
Cheryl You, M.Div., 2019
“I experienced the Regent difference after visiting some of the best known seminaries. The faculty here prayed over each prospective student and laid hands on each of us. The Holy Spirit confirmed for me that day the Regent School of Divinity was where I needed to be.”
Matthew Chandler, M.Div., 2020 Director of Operations, Regent University School of Divinity
“My training at Regent has equipped me to impact nations through teaching and preaching God's word. My teaching has changed from being content-centered to being learner-centered. I have gained a clearer vision about God's redemptive call on my life, and my time at Regent has left an indelible mark on my ministry.”
Dr. Samuel T. Koshy, Doctor of Ministry, 2024
