Commissioned & Crowned: From Divinity School to the World Stage
Quadasia Love, SOD '22
In the competitive world of pageantry, where beauty, poise, and talent open doors to opportunity, Quadasia Love stands out as a beacon of inspiration. The newly crowned Ms. USA World Universal and Regent alum is redefining the modern pageant queen — weaving together faith, service, leadership, and creative expression into a powerful platform.
Quadasia has seamlessly blended her academic achievements with her love for ministry and performance. After earning her Master of Divinity (M.Div.) from Regent’s School of Divinity in 2022, she stepped into her role as a chaplain and outreach leader while also pursuing her special interests in pageants and acting.
“The biblical foundation and heart for missions I developed during my M.Div. program have equipped me not only for ministry but also for my pursuits in pageantry and acting,” Quadasia explains. “Foundational truth knows no boundaries — it applies to every aspect of life, regardless of the arena. I want my journey to demonstrate how faith and passion can empower others to shine brightly for Jesus in all their endeavors.”
Quadasia’s Regent journey began during a season of introspection about her calling. Though she holds an undergraduate degree in biology, she felt a strong pull toward ministry. After seeking divine guidance about her next steps, she decided to pursue a master’s degree in divinity.
While researching divinity programs, Quadasia discovered Regent University at the top of her search results. “I filled out the online inquiry form, and within 30 seconds, someone called me to discuss my future,” she recalls. “It felt like a divinely orchestrated conversation. In that moment, I knew I was Regent-bound.”
Regent Professors & Donors Make a Difference
Quadasia thrived at Regent, earning straight A’s. Despite the rigorous coursework, her interest in the subject matter made the process easy. She says she appreciated that her professors came from diverse denominations, each bringing fresh revelation of God’s Word through transformative teachings.
“My spiritual formation and missiology classes ignited something deep within me,” shares Quadasia. “Immersing myself in biblical, historical, and theological writings didn’t just expand my knowledge — it transformed my character, deepened my faith, and equipped me to lead with greater purpose and conviction.”
As Quadasia reflects on her Regent experience, her voice carries the fervor of someone who wants to impact lives for Christ. She credits Regent’s unwavering commitment to truth and unity for making her journey something special. “In a world where many institutions compromise their values, Regent stands firm,” she explains. “The professors don’t just teach biblical truth — they live it, staying faithful to the school’s mission and inspiring students to do the same.”
Reflecting on her exceptional educational experience, Quadasia expresses admiration for donor scholarships. “When you give, it’s more than a financial contribution — you’re investing in something, and someone, with eternal significance,” she says. “These are Christian leaders who will become the next generation of decision-makers and influencers. That’s worth investing in.”
A Crown for His Glory
This May, Quadasia steps onto the international stage in Kenya to compete for the 2026 Ms. World Universal title — not merely to claim another crown, but to answer a higher calling: using her voice and platform to glorify God. “I’ve dreamed of doing mission work in Africa for years,” Quadasia shares. “A pageant wasn’t how I imagined getting there, but God has orchestrated something beyond my plans.”
God’s calling often takes us down uncharted paths — just ask Quadasia. What began as faithful service as a chaplain has blossomed into something with global reach, revealing a profound truth that when we surrender our plans to God, He opens doors we never imagined possible.
“I’ve realized wherever He places you, that’s your mission field,” says Quadasia. “I’ll use the spotlight in Kenya to share my faith and be a bold witness for Christ.”
