Testimonials from our Alumni and Students

"Over the past three years at Davis College I've learned a great deal and my relationship with Jesus Christ has been strengthened. Through my conversations with professors and staff I've learned much that will help me in ministry. I've learned to major on the majors, and minor on the minors. To put it simply, over the past three years at Davis College I've matured as a follower of the Messiah." -- Calvin Park, Davis College Senior, Student Body President 2004-2005.

"My experience while going to Davis College for counseling was great. Not only did I get a sound biblical counseling foundation, but it definitely prepared me for my graduate work and current counseling position. Although it is a public high school setting, parents, teachers and students always ask why I approach things in a different way and why it works so well. I tell them that I had a good foundation for my counseling practices at Davis College and sometimes it opens the door to share my faith." -- Steve Mastronardi, 1998 Graduate, Guidance Counselor at Elmira Southside Public High School.

"Two years ago I felt called into the ministry. My pastor suggested that I spend a day at Davis College. I was amazed. The faculty is personable. The atmosphere is supportive. the doctrine is sound. I was concerned about being a non-traditional student, but was relieved to find I was not alone. I feel as if I fit right in." -- Daniel Graham, Davis College Class of 2005, Pastor of Springfield Baptist Church in Pennsylvania.
