OUR TESTIMONIALS
LATOYA DAMON
Prior to coming, I felt a little bit isolated in my religious experience. So it felt good to step into a community where I could recognize the sound of the genuine in my fellow peers and cohorts as we all asked critical questions, to understand our faith and our relationship with the Lord.
EDWARD
BIRT
I am most excited about graduating from Gammon so that I can go into full-time ministry. Gammon is known as the school of the prophets and has enabled me to have a more prophetic voice. But a voice that is also looking out into my community and seeing how best I can use my voice to change my community and in doing so, change the world

I enjoyed that part of my seminary experience more than anything else. Meeting folks that all believed in Jesus Christ but we had different ways of practicing that belief.
