"Prior to my studies at Knox, I was like the person in Matthew 7:26 who built a house on sand. My faith was strong, but not deep. Now having studied at Knox, the sand has turned to rock. The foundation for my faith is now both deep and sturdy. My professors and classmates helped me ask questions that I had not ever asked myself before. Looking into these areas and exploring them as a group has changed my relationship with God and with God’s community here on Earth."

— Matthew V. (K'23)

"My interest in pursuing a Master of Theological Studies initially stemmed from conversations with spiritual mentors in my life.

"I am deeply indebted to the College for the way that I was embraced as a mature student, and for the many ways that supporters of the work of Knox College assisted me in my journey toward ministry. In 2016, I am particularly grateful for the legacy of the men and women who blazed the trail that resulted in the ordination of women in our church fifty years ago. It is on their shoulders that I now stand as a minister of Word and Sacraments in The Presbyterian Church in Canada."

— Monica M. (K’15)
