Leah Kirkland

CCO Associate Leah Kirkland reaches out to students at Geneva College.

Leah graduated in 2017 from Duquesne University with a degree in athletic training. She spent her first year on CCO staff ministering to students at Slippery Rock University, and later reached out to students at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh through a partnership with Church of the Ascension.

"College students are driven, intelligent, and full of potential, but they are also desperate for life answers and willing to search just about anywhere to find them," says Leah. "My desire is to build Christ-centered relationships with college students, help them realize their identity in Christ, and walk with them as they figure out what it looks like to live into that identity in every area of their lives."
