Because God himself is musical, all creation sounds his praise. When his people are controlled by his Spirit, the music they make glorifies King Jesus. Thus the only higher pursuit than the study of music is the study of God himself. Our desire is to help students recognize that every aspect of music-making is worship, and enable them to develop their God-given gifts to become salt and light. We want all of our students to live as God-first musicians. This endowed scholarship was established in loving memory of Bethany Rehrer, a beloved music student at The Master’s University known for her gentle and friendly spirit.

Tobin Bolter’s earthly life was tragically taken while serving in the line of duty working as a deputy for the Ada County Sheriff’s Office in Boise, Idaho.

Tobin’s family described him in this way:

“Tobin’s life has been a reflection of God’s grace. He was a selfless man of conviction, giving God the glory in all circumstances. Tobin sacrificially loved his wife, Abbey. As a peace officer, Tobin was able to faithfully serve and protect his community because his foundation was deeply rooted in the hope of the gospel; he lived without fear. Tobin’s vivacious spirit and selfless care for others were an encouragement to all who knew him.”

This scholarship fund was created in loving memory of Tobin. Scholarships from this fund will be awarded to worthy students studying at The Master’s University in honor and memory of his life and legacy.
