"I love the church, the atmosphere, and the leadership. During my senior year at Emory, I asked myself, “What’s Next?” After a bit, I then asked myself the question, “Why not Highlands?” After much prayer and guidance I took a leap of faith and began my journey to start the Residency Program at Highlands. At the time I didn’t know it but I can definitely say now it’s been one of the best decisions of my life. Not only was I learning about how to serve in a pastoral role, but I was developing real leadership qualities through practical experiences. Being mentored and loved from numerous individuals week in and week out is what I needed. I was challenged to be the very best leader I could be through the residency and I’m forever grateful.”
