Since 2014, Dr. Young-Goodner, her family and some of her talented alumni -- and many others! -- have joined together to minister as part of the Krewe of Good Gifts. Under the direction of the Holy Spirit, the Krewe of Good Gifts is a Christian performing arts fellowship dedicated to providing a nurturing environment to foster the “good gifts” we’ve been given, creating ministry opportunities through excellent performance, and ultimately spreading the Good News of Jesus. Once graduated, you can be apart of this wonderful ministry opportunity!
