STUDENT IMPACT

  • “My story of Ashland began in a dorm room in Kem. I wanted to start a Bible study, and, in the beginning, it was just a few of us. Quickly, it grew to 30 people, and now we’re seeing over 200 people attending in person each week in Redwood, with around 300 viewing remotely online. It’s called the “Melting Pot,” and the idea behind it is to bring a lot of diversity and energy to worshiping and serving God.”

    Brenden Archer, Alum

  • “My faith is really important to me, I was on the debate team in high school and my parents run an independent film company back home: I couldn’t decide which of these three things outweighed the others, so I triple majored in Religion, Political Science and Theater.”

    Tiffany Sims, Alum
