Meet Julie Hutton '06, Graduate of the Month-
"After I graduated from Mansfield High School, I moved to Columbia, MO where I attended the University of Missouri and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood/Elementary Education. My Freshmen year, I got involved in Chi Alpha Campus Ministries.  My relationship with Jesus deepened and He increased my love for others. I started to step out in new ways for God; leading a Bible study, leading worship, sharing my faith and praying with strangers, and going on mission trips to Jamaica. After I graduated Mizzou in 2010, I stepped onto staff with Mizzou Chi Alpha as a Campus Missionary Associate and am in the midst of my second year on staff. My heart is to share the love God has poured on me with others and disciple people to live the life for which God created them. I am currently in the process of becoming an ordained minister through the Assemblies of God so I’m ready for whatever specific ministry He calls me to in the future."
