Let me just say that it is truly an honor to have each of you incredible men in my life. I am absolutely amazed by who each one of you are and I am grateful for how each one of you have marked me. I am looking forward with delight to the wedding day when I will have the privilege of awaiting my bride with you gentlemen by my side. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

he's the man

We are so excited to introduce our friend, our teacher, and our officiant: Paul D. Steinke!!!

Paul currently serves as Field Abbott and Director of Organizational Development at Mars Hill Graduate School. He’s a husband, a father, and a leader to many. As an institution, Mars Hill is fortunate to have someone like Paul battling and loving on their behalf. As an alumnus and current faculty member, Paul (along with his wife, Sarah and son, Pierce) has suffered and bled for the sake of all that is Mars Hill and all that brings glory and richness to this thing called life. His ability to see beauty, to call it forth, and to invite others to see it as well makes Paul an incredible leader, teacher, and friend. He’s the kind of guy you see and think, “A man like that just doesn’t belong in a world like this…and thank God he’s here.” We’re so excited and grateful that Paul has agreed to walk this journey towards marriage with us. His presence in the ceremony will no doubt bring glory and richness to the day just as it has in our lives and the lives of many others.

Paul, you rock, dude!
