the many examples of people who shone with God’s light! What a beautiful testimony!
After graduating high school in 2011, Kristie attended Eastern Nazarene College and
majored in Early Childhood Education. She felt prepared for the academic, emotional
and spiritual rigors of college. Academically, Kristie found that she was better prepared
than many of her peers for the demands of school. She had learned how to study effectively, research and cite sources, and write papers of considerable length. She took honors classes in college and even was able to earn additional credits so she could double minor in Child Psychology and Child Advocacy, all while being on the Dean’s List each semester.
Spiritually, Kristie did not waver in her faith like many of her peers did. She found that she was able to stand in her convictions and was able to engage with her classmates who were struggling. It helped that she established a personal habit of Bible reading and prayer, and she was able to reach out for advice from some CCS teachers and friends. That really helped her!
In the years following graduation from ENC, Kristie has had a lot of excitement! She married her high school sweetheart, Josh. She also substituted in the Quincy, MA, public schools, taught second grade in Weymouth, MA, and nannied in Scotland while her husband was studying abroad. Kristie is now working with autistic students in the Newtown (MA) Public Schools.
We delight to hear how God has used CCS in the lives of our alumni! Thank you, Kristie, for letting your light shine!
