Cassandra Dowell is all grown up now and a student herself at Clear Creek. When she first came here as a teenager while her mother was a student, she had no idea that God was preparing her for the husband she would meet here. She continues her fond memories of growing up on and being a student now at the Creek.
“I have loved the classes at Clear Creek!” said Dowell. “The experience in the class room here is unique to any college I have ever visited. The professors are dedicated not just to giving a thorough biblical education, but also to connecting personally with each student.
“The classes here have help in preparing me for ministry first of all by teaching me how to study the Bible” she added. “My husband and I are young and love being able to teach and help out in any area we can at our local church. Being able to study God’s word and relay it to those we teach is one thing I will use in every aspect of my life.
“All the classes I have had thus far which teach verse by verse through the books of the Bible have been amazing,” Dowell said. “Just being taught how to study God’s word by godly men and women is a lesson I will use and apply in every area of my life—from my own children to those whom I have the privilege of serving in a local church.
“Clear Creek will not just prepare you in the classroom, but the experience you receive on-campus is like none other,” said Dowell. “The spiritual and personal growth that happens when you discuss the Bible with fellow class mates and faculty is life changing.
“I personally have found out more about myself through being a student here. Some of that was good,” she added, “but I also had to acknowledge the bad things in my life which were taking from my relationship to God.
“The wisdom the professors have about the Bible is beyond comparison, yet they are all extremely humble. On top of that, the tuition is unbeatable!” Dowell said. “I believe anyone called into any form of ministry should greatly consider being equipped through Clear Creek. It is definitely a decision that will reap benefits for the rest of your life.”
