Meet our Horizons Fellows | Vocational Discernment through Relational Discipleship
Not pictured are: Nykera Wallop, Sophia Hanway & Maddie Mislock.
We’re thrilled to welcome another cohort of Horizons Fellows as they wrestle with concepts of calling through constraints and commitments, reflecting Theological Horizons’ desire to discover Christ at the intersection of faith, thought, and life. Pulling 4th years from a variety of denominational, theological and ethnic backgrounds, a prominent goal of the Horizons Fellows is for students to experience the unity of Christ (John 17) alongside the plurality of expressions among those committed to following Jesus.
