As we conclude the sixth week of Shepherds College, it is exciting to look back and consider what has been accomplished during this time with regards to the growth of the students and the development of SC. This blog will be used to share with you some of the highlights from SC.
Recently we have added to our faculty by filling some key positions. God has provided for our staffing needs in a tremendous way and I am confident that the addition of these individuals to our SC faculty team will greatly enhance our overall program.
Academic Advisor / Instructor: Angela Houk brings a great deal of ministry experience to Shepherds College. She has led tutoring programs, trained hundreds of youth workers, and has taught young people ages 6 to 18. Throughout her life Miss Houk has reached out to help others serving as a mentor, lay counselor, and Bible instructor. She has a Bachelor’s degree from UW-Stevens Point and has completed Bible training at New Tribes Bible Institute and is currently closing in on a Master of Art & Religion degree from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. We are excited to welcome Miss Houk and believe she will positively impact our students and our overall program.
Residential Life Coordinator / Instructor: Jenna Patton who makes the transition from her former role as a unit supervisor at Shepherds to this new position in SC, brings a great deal of specific experience and a real passion for assisting individuals with special needs in their own personal development. Miss Patton, already working in the college as an instructor, will provide assistance and supervision to the students during the evening hours after school. She has experience as a habilitation instructor at the Allegany (NY) ARC where she helped individuals in the areas of personal hygiene, social skills, handling money, community safety, nutrition, etc. Jenna is a graduate of Houghton College.
Spiritual Life Director: Paul Von Tobel has recently joined the staff at Shepherds where he will serve our residents and students alike. Paul has extensive experience and training in special needs ministry, most recently serving on the staff of Joni & Friends. Paul’s involvement in SC will be determined in the weeks and months ahead, but we anticipate that, among other things, he will lead a Bible study with our young men and be available for spiritual counseling. Paul will also be serving as the pastor of our campus church - Shepherds Church.
