Student Council Profile: Stephanie VanSpronsen

Stephanie VanSpronsen is our Student Council Administrative Officer and is from Brampton, Ontario. In Brampton she grew up attending New Covenant Christian Fellowship Church. Here she served as a youth leader for a number of years. As Administrative Officer she is in charge of the organization of things. Her role involves keeping the calendars updated, as well as updating the television screen in the Sherk Lounge. She also helps out with major events and keeping records of all the different papers that come through the Student Council Office. On top of being on Student Council she is in the BRE Counseling Program taking a few courses while also maintaining a part time job.

Before coming to Emmanuel Bible College Stephanie went through a lot of phases before deciding on what path to go. Her father didn’t approve of Christian education; especially Bible College. She had been slated to go to the University of Windsor to obtain a degree in social work and before that, the University of Prince Edward Island to become a Veterinarian. After her father left the house, Stephanie was free to go to the place she most wanted to go and that was here at Emmanuel Bible College. She first heard about Emmanuel Bible College from her youth pastor who was an alumnus of the college. She said that he was like a surrogate father to her. So when Stephanie had decided to go into a ministry-type setting it never occurred to her to go anywhere else. When Stephanie completes her program at Emmanuel she wants to go into frontline youth work possible working for an organization like Ray of Hope or Pregnancy Crisis Center.
