1. Name, what year are you in, where you are from?
Stephen Horner, third (hopefully final!) year and I am from Bedfordshire which is near London.
2. What course are you taking?
I am taking the Theology: Youthwork and Ministry Course, so as well as my degree in theology I have a couple of placements to do too.
3. What brought you to NTC?
I applied three weeks before term started! I had never heard of the Nazarene Church before or NTC, but my youth pastor at home knew one of the staff at college
4. If you had one word to describe NTC, what would it be and why?
Friendly
5. What is your favorite activity to do in Manchester?
Play Football! (proper football, not American football – though I do enjoy watching it!)
6. What’s the most exciting thing about being a student at NTC?
Being able to learn theory in class and apply it to my practice, and learn through my practice when discussing theory in class
7. What’s the most challenging thing about being a student?
Balancing so many things on my plate at the same time! Essays, Dissertation and Church
8. Do you have any plans for after you graduate?
I hope to go into youth work in the Nazarene Church, specifically with Didsbury Community Church at the moment. However, I also believe that I am called to adult ministry in the future, though I am definitely called to youth work at the moment.
9. Do you have any funny stories you’d like to tell about your time at NTC?
One time my girlfriend decided that it would be a good idea to hold a door shut as I ran through it, lots of blood, sweat,and tears later she apologized a lot. There are some photos somewhere of it….
10. Anything else you think people should know about student life at NTC?
It’s lots of fun! It’s a challenge, especially when living on site, but it’s enjoyable and people should definitely come here to study!
