Education Goal: Pastor

Education Path: Pastoral Studies Concentration at Davis

Meet an Alumnus: Peter Seide is a 2008 graduate from the Pastoral Studies program at Davis college. Peter is a worship leader and musician who came to Davis College from West Orange, New Jersey. His wife, Holly is from Averill Park, New York.

In Pete's Words: "I chose Davis because it is a close-knit community where I could actually get to know people, and tuition is affordable. My wife and I were told that it was a great school, and the care Davis College shows for its students makes a difference. Professors always welcome students to come in and talk even when they are busy.

One of the best things I have received from my time here at Davis College is the relationships that I have been able to form with teachers. It has been an unreal experience to see how kind and open faculty and staff are, and I haven't had a teacher that I haven't felt comfortable having a conversation with. I'm blown away by the integrity of the faculty. It is obvious that they genuinely strive to please and serve the Lord. I am very grateful for the pastoral classes I have taken at Davis. Professor Stan Baker and Professor Russ Smith taught me many life-changing principles. I feel overwhelmed by how blessed I have been to learn from them.

My future goal is to be the head pastor of a church. I hope to be a part of a church that has a team of leaders; I believe that you need more than one person to run an effective church. My wife and I also want to serve within our community by being hospitable to others."
