Jena Thurow-Mountin ’19
Saint John’s School of Theology and Seminary is where I found my voice and grew into who God is calling me to be. The classroom was a sacred space – filled with students from diverse backgrounds and faith traditions – where I was challenged, supported, and transformed. None of this would have been possible without the generosity of those who support the School of Theology and Seminary. Your gifts made my experience – and the experiences of so many others – a reality.”
