I strive to provide an educational experience at United Seminary that results in students who leave understanding that the presence of the arts in the classrooms, worship, and in the seminary itself recognizes the integral relationship of art and theology and the role of the arts to inspire and promote theological imagination and inquiry.

“I feel passionate about the power of the arts to transform and renew congregational life. The seminary plays an integral role in equipping church leaders with the skills necessary to make this happen.”
