2021 Graduates

Page 50 CLASS OF 2021 LINCOLN DAILY NEWS MAY/JUNE 2021 President McCormick congratulated the classes of 2020 and 2021. On behalf of the professors, he said all were excited to see where God has called the graduates and takes them in kingdom service. These graduates join thousands of Lincoln leaders who have left here on adventures in ministry. Though the graduates are leaving the school, President McCormick said they will forever remain a part of this community. Like family, President McCormick said they may disagree at times, but there will nonetheless always be a seat at the table for the graduates. The common mission that brought students and faculty together when they first came will bind them together when they leave. President McCormick said LCU sought to offer graduates an educational experience that integrated the heart, mind and soul. This experience pointed graduates toward a commitment to lifelong service to Christ and His church in whatever context they find themselves. For McCormick and the faculty, the hope is graduates have been forever “ruined.” These graduates should never be able to look at any aspect of the world without asking how God sees it. They should then faithfully apply a Biblical and theological framework and respond with grace and truth. CONTINUED u
