STUDENT SUCCESS

Hear what our students have to say

“Queens College of Theology gave me more than knowledge...it gave me confidence. The way our professors connected theology to real ministry made all the difference. Within months of graduating, the church I grew up in promoted me to associate pastor.”

Rev. Angela Moore Master of Divinity Graduate

“As an international student, I was drawn to QCT’s online format. I didn't have to juggle timezones to meet professors. The courses stretched me theologically and spiritually. Because of the missions courses I learned at QCT, I have helped 2,000 people in my community get access to cleaner water."

Pastor Lydia Chukwu PhD in Biblical Studies

"My time at QCT reshaped my theology completely. I learned to hold the Bible not as a weapon, but as a witness to God’s redemptive work in every person. That realization revitalized my preaching and led to a movement of renewal in our small churches."

Dr. Michael Lawson Doctor of Theology

“I thought I knew the Bible after years in ministry, but QCT helped me see God’s story with fresh clarity. Every course brought Scripture alive and connected it to the real struggles of my congregation. That insight helped me step into my first full-time pastoral role with confidence.”

Pastor Daniel Reyes Master of Arts in Christian Counseling
