I, Demetri Tolbert, am a Point University alumni who graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Child and Youth Development. I am applying for the Masters of Divinity program because I believe the program will provide an opportunity for me to further my knowledge in ministry to not only build an effective ministry, but to grow people in the knowledge of God. On December 31, 2015, I was ordained as a minister of the Gospel under the leadership of my pastor, Bishop Frank McLeod. As I have grown up in and around church, with both Baptist and Pentecostal backgrounds, I have experienced great denominational divide in the body of Christ. However, I know God is too great to be confined within denominational constructs.
First, I believe by obtaining my Master in Theology from Liberty University it has helped me develop a stronger and deeper understanding of God’s word.

Regent University allows students to grow both academically and spiritually into Christian leaders that will greatly impact the world to advance the Kingdom of God. Regent not only teaches students, but they also equip students to fulfill the Great Commission; which is to go out and teach the nations about Jesus. My vision after graduating from Regent is to heal God’s broken people through a holistic approach; addressing the physical, mental, and spiritual needs through the formation of a nonprofit organization. A MA in Practical Theology would enable me to teach and minister from an outreach approach; sometimes teaching to the homeless in the streets, other times reaching those in shelters, and also those broken within the church. This demographic appeals to me, because I know what it feels like to be broken and lost; and I further understand the power that is in Jesus and his ability to restore and heal.

I am applying to join the Leadership Development Programme primarily because I wish to be able to teach and inspire students from all walks of life. The Teach First mission speaks volumes to my own morals and goals. I believe that all children, no matter their socioeconomic background nor the area that they live, should go without an excellent education. As the programme boasts having a direct link between it and improved GCSE results in the schools that it has worked with, it strikes me as not only being worthwhile for my own personal growth, but that of any children that it would give me the opportunity to teach. While expecting it to be a tough route to take, I feel like the programme will challenge those who undertake it to be the best

Teaching at Palm Beach Atlantic University in a comprehensive christian atmosphere allow ones to integrate christian values and ideas into education giving the chance to share the love of Jesus Christ with students who may need spiritual guidance and leadership.

Therefore, it is expected as an instructor at a christian institute to plant God's word in the hearts and minds of the students. And I strongly believe that An education that uses God’s word as its foundation produces spiritually-mature, wiser and more knowledgeable Pharmacy students.
A “personal philosophy” is not designed for a particular place and time. It is a broad template for taking command of self. Thinking through and recording how we intend to lead and serve can be remarkably productive. As with strategic planning, the process is often worth more than the product.
Leadership Statement I pride myself in being a good listener, and this has helped in all the leadership roles I held throughout my life thus far. I have experienced democratic leaderships through being a part of groups in college for class presentations, being a choir leader in my church, being a volunteer in a few projects, at my place of work and also as being a part of my family. The attributes of being a good leader has expanded with time through these experiences. Some of valuable leadership traits that I have been able to obtain and strengthen over time include: how to be a team player, effective listening skills, delivering constructive criticism, the need to understand people’s temperaments, and how to be a problem solver and a risk-bearer.
