Testimonial

“I owe a great deal to my theology degree from Spring Hill College. Beyond a diploma or a title, which have also served me well, my degree has brought me to the place that I am today, both spiritually and professionally. I have worked for 5 years now as a theology teacher at St. Michael Catholic High School in Baldwin county where my education at the college has been foundational and of incontrovertible merit. More than anything, I am grateful for the lens I have been given in my time at Spring Hill through which all things can come into focus for the glory of God.” – Gabrielle Smith
