"I’m grateful for the many ways the certificate program has challenged me to grow. I’ve loved the structured learning—the rhythm of reading great books, learning from faculty who are both brilliant in their fields and genuinely invested in us, and journeying alongside classmates who have become lifelong friends. It has been a beautiful, life-changing experience. Westmont is a special place! It’s a gift to have invested this time in things that endure. Studying scripture, Christian leadership, world Christianity, discipleship-making movements, and spiritual formation has shaped the way I serve and lead for the glory of God in every area of my life."
