Christian - Reformed
Paul Verhoef (B.S., M.Div., Th.M.) comes with a passion for exposing the work and the grace of God on this campus and in the lives of its people. He loves the academy, relishes in the open questions that are asked in this place, and marvels at the growth of soul, heart, and mind that occurs in these halls. In a world where it is becoming commonplace to separate our faith from our work and academic study, Paul's hope is to impart an integrating vision that refuses to accept this separation - a vision which sees a vibrant faith involved in all aspects of our lives.
