One Commitment. Many Callings.
In 1966, Fuller welcomed women into every one of its degree programs out of a conviction that women are equally called to ministry. In the past fifty-seven years since, Fuller has helped to equip tens of thousands of women for their callings. This page shares a few of those stories. May these stories serve as an enduring inspiration to Christians everywhere that all are equally called to deliver Christ’s hope and healing to the church and the world.
