Fellows Testimonials
What Past Fellows Are Saying...
The Fellows Program equipped me to look at my life with an enhanced discernment. The teaching helped guide me to which issues are important, both inside and outside the church, and how to combine the two.

The Fellows Program was the perfect transition year for me right out of college. God used every aspect of the program to teach me and grow me more into who He has called me to be. Not only was I challenged by the dynamic teaching, but I was grown in unexpected ways as I learned more about who I am and what my role is in futhering the Lord's kingdom.
I have come out of the Fellows Program with a greater passion for God's kingdom, a desire and understanding of what it means to live differently in this world because of the truth of the gospel, and a life that has been and continues to be transfomed by the renewing of my mind. I am so thankful for the Fellows Program and I wouldn't have traded this year for anything!

The 2PC Fellows Program is a unique experience that places recent college graduates in fellowship with Christian professionals. Unlike other post-graduate experiences, a Fellow is given the opportunity to benefit from the time and energy of those who have successfully taken the same road. The Fellows Program is truly a time to learn from Christians who have merged their faith and practice in the real world.

The Fellows Program has made a remarkable impact on my life. I have grown so much in my understanding of who I am as a beloved creature of God and what it looks like to make Christ the center of every part of my life: work, relationships, volunteer service, and how I see the world.
It provided me with the opportunity to learn about and discuss issues relevant to my faith that I had never thought about before. Developing friendships and a community of people to discuss things with, learn from and spend time with was a huge blessing to me. The Fellows experience has empowered me to feel more equipped to live as an effective servant of Jesus Christ in my daily life.

This past year I have come face to face with the reality that God gives His children knowledge of His word and understanding of His commands to live all of life under the Lordship of Christ. In fellowship, bible study, discussing theology, and living out class lessons in everyday relationships with coworkers, family, and friends, the Fellows program clearly taught me that Christianity is a way of being and of learning.
From these nine months of building relationships, learning from those men and women who are older in the faith, and reading numerous books on various issues of life, I have a deeper picture of how I may live to serve and how the legacy of a spirit-filled life can vitally change a community.
Not only have I developed a greater vision for how my life is to be lived, but I have gained a life-long group of friends that are also seeking God’s will. Our Fellows year has added to the foundation of Christ in my life and will continue to impact how I daily walk in the presence of God.

The 2PC Fellows Program was an instrumental part of who I have become. The nurturing community surrounding me over that year helped me lay the groundwork to become a strong leader through Christ in my career, my ministry, and with my family and friends.
The 5 cornerstones of the program gave me the vision to integrate the Lord into every facet of my life. Looking back at my year in Memphis reminds me of the invaluable lessons and opportunities that I still cherish. Taking that year after college to lay the foundation for the rest of your life, will prepare you to be lifted higher than you ever imagined.
