Todd Padgett and Jay Carson, from left, join Perkins and others in sharing their initial impressions of McAfee. Ferrero is impressed with how attentive faculty and staff are to his needs. Compared to my former seminary experiences where there would be 50-60 people in a class, the smaller class sizes at McAfee provide a greater opportunity to learn and interact with the instructors. I'm involved in ministry at Dunwoody. McAfee's philosophy of education is one that takes someone from their call to ministry and equips them to minister in the fullest sense.
Attention is given to spiritual growth, to our spiritual development.
Some of the greatest things, I expect to learn from the instructors and the mentors, not the text books. Grenada, West Indies, native Coleen Cox left military service in 1992 and chose to settle in Atlanta, a mid-way point between Grenada and New York, where she has relatives. She felt the tug toward full-time ministry while serving as a registered nurse in the military. She currently is in the midst of a five-year AME ordination process. This process requires one year of seminary training, which she had begun at an Atlanta theological center.
