"Coming from a secular and outside institution from Trinity Western, I was immediately drawn to the sense of community found within the LLC.  The LLC was a complete nurturing environment for spiritual growth.  The academics were so amazing, all three courses were so relevant to what Christian growing in a secular world need to know.  In my other years of university, I have never encountered more amazing professors for instructors.  The individual time and attention in each class allowed a great learning environment and openness in seminars to truly discuss and learn."
