A Message from Mary Holland '07

I believe God called me to pastoral ministry in the local church. I chose Palmer Seminary because of its motto, and I wasn't disappointed. I graduate with a deeper understanding that the gospel of Jesus Christ includes not only eternal life, but the responsibility to do my part in bringing about God's mission of reconciliation both with humanity to God and humanity with one another. Because of the emphasis of ministering through whole persons, I have learned to integrate my happy times and rough times in order to be an effective pastor.
