Mariager Højskole has taught me a lot about life with God, about myself, my strengths and my limitations. The community here is quite unique, there is room to come as you are, with all your differences, processes, goals and experiences. The school has been just what I needed. I feel more grounded in myself and in my faith, I've gotten rest and I've gained a whole lot of unique relationships.

I went to college to get away from home, do some traveling and get to know some new people. I got that... and much more. Mariager Folk High School is the place where I could settle into who I was, rest, and find direction in my faith life. God was allowed to get to the bottom of my past and show me my future!

The school has developed my personal faith and God's supernatural work in my life. When I started school I had a fire to play more worship music and serve God. The school has opened many doors and I have developed tremendously playing the drums. The community is amazing and super healthy. The school has given me relationships for life.

In a life with a completed education and a steady job, I spontaneously came to faith. I needed Christian friends, a good theological foundation, and faith development. Mariager Højskole has given me a broad spectrum of knowledge in theology, good conversations with coaches, teachers and students. I have experienced many new sides of myself and processed old ones, and have been confirmed in the importance of God's intervention in my life.

After many years of running at a fast pace with education, work and ministry, I was exhausted and needed a sabbatical. Mariager Højskole turned out to be the perfect location for the purpose. Here, everyday life is one big buffet of good experiences that have given me renewed energy, joy and well-being.

I have experienced a taste of God's word, and have fallen in love with Jesus anew, and have a greater longing to see his work. In the wonderful community of the folk high school, I have been allowed to be sharpened and equipped for life after. Throughout my years at the college, processes and experiences have shown me that God cares about both my heart and my faith.

I didn't know what I wanted from my second sabbatical or from education, but I knew I had a desire to do something that was meaningful and developed me personally. During my time at Mariager Højskole, I have really been able to develop in the field of worship. The school has created a safe environment where I have been able to develop and use what I have learned. I have learned to prioritise and nurture my relationships and have really been inspired to continue learning more about the Bible. Mariager Højskole has been the ideal place for me to develop in faith, ministry and personal life."

I came from a stressful background with many challenges, and therefore chose to start a new chapter in my life by attending Mariager Højskole. During my time at the school, I have developed into a more positive person and I have found out how important it is for me to have God in my life. I have closed old doors and opened new ones, and what I take with me are strong relationships and a greater understanding of who God is.

Before I chose to go to Mariager Højskole, I experienced an emptiness - as if there was something I was missing. I had a desire to strengthen my hope in God and find meaning in everyday life. What has made a big difference for me has been all the personal conversations with friends at the school and coaching with the teachers. What I take with me now 3 years later is new knowledge, a bachelor's degree and a new perspective on life - I have learned to be happy with who I am and have found joy in everyday life."

I was not ready to start a study and had a longing to develop personally and to make a few good friends with whom I could share my faith. Often I have felt that I had my life completely under control, but through my time at Mariager Højskole I have discovered that I have many things to work on, to let go of and to accept. My year at the college has probably been the best year of my life so far. It has been a year about me and God, and I have become a stronger woman who rests more in myself. I've been well equipped for a journey that doesn't end here, but is just the start of something great.

One week at the school was not enough for me and so I started four weeks later. Mariager Højskole offers sharp, grounded teaching that approaches theology as the deepest mystery, where it's not about a curriculum or "the right answers", but about being curious. In this way, teaching becomes a kind of research room, where there is room to discover and experiment. I have asked questions that I would never have asked if I had not been at the school, and this has been crucial for my faith and further walk with Jesus. I'm never quite finished asking questions, but MH has given me the tools to delve into theology and interpret the Word myself. I would never have been without it!

For me, Mariager Højskole has been a place where I have been able to find peace and rest, as I came from a daily life where I had been involved in many things for a long time - personally as well as ministry-wise in the church. I really needed this time of rest to be facilitated for me, as I have not been good at finding it myself, and I sincerely believe that the college has an amazing ability and spirit about it to create just that space.
