Beckie Corner, BA, ’20
My passion and favourite classes had always been those relating to social justice.
When Beckie was a second year student in 2018, she had this to say.
My name is Beckie, I am from Chester. I was originally studying Social Science at Bath University. I completed my first year, but I felt something was missing. I was learning about social justice and reform, but I wanted to include my faith in my studies. When I heard about NTC, I realised that I could learn more about God and apply this to social justice and ministry. The close community also really appealed to me as I wanted to grow spiritually as well as academically.
Right now, I really enjoyed being able to write an exegesis essay for Biblical Studies. I found the process of learning about the context and different interpretations of a passage really interesting. Similarly, life at NTC has deepened and shaped my faith in many ways. I have had to question many of my core beliefs as I have learnt alternative opinions in class. This has sometimes felt uncomfortable however, it has made me read more to formulate my own views. If you love people and community then you will love it here. But you have to be prepared to be challenged
Now as an NTC graduate, Beckie has this to say:
This role continues to challenge my perspective on life. I am thankful for the foundation of faith, friendships and critical thinking that NTC provided. It was a place where my relationship with God deepened, and I made best friends for life. For anyone thinking of applying to NTC, I 100% recommend it!
