they are particularly designed to minister to our alumni who are laboring for the Lord in their various fields of endeavor.

NETWORKING
One important aim of the Alumni Association is to aid members in networking together.

If you are a business owner, you might find the perfect employee among those who are likewise members of the Alumni Association. If you simply want to bring attention to your new business, we can help you get the word out to those members who may need your services! In fact, you will even be able to advertise in The Heights to let others know about your church, ministry, or business. Eventually, we also have a directory for all participating members to make connecting with others easy.
