Student Recruitment Ambassadors
Student Recruitment Ambassadors (SRAs) aim to build relationships with prospective students and help them discern whether ministry and Concordia Seminary should be part of their future.
Read more about each one of our SRAs below to learn more about them and find inspiration for your own journey. They are ready to talk with you.
Rev. Will Hanke
Background: “By the age of 10, I had people telling me I should be a pastor, and by age 13 I had made that the plan for my life. I love finding creative ways to share the Gospel of Jesus.”
Highlight from Seminary: “Seminary was a blast! I enjoyed the brotherhood, and loved playing sports and talking theology with my friends. I built lifelong friendships in Seminary.”
Advice for prospective students: “Listen to those who are encouraging you to come to Seminary and ask them questions. Ask them why they think you should be a pastor, what qualities do they see, etc.”
Rev. Micah Steiner
Background: “Even though I grew up in a great home, with loving and faithful parents, and attended a Lutheran elementary school, I was a rebellious kid and struggled in my faith life while in high school. However the Lord never stopped pursuing me, and while on a study abroad trip to India in college, I entered into a season of repentance, and came back to the states with a renewed appreciation for my baptismal identity in Christ and the grace God had poured out on me. As a result, I was led into a life of church work, first as a Director of Christian Education and later as a pastor through the Specific Ministry Pastor (SMP) Program at Concordia Seminary.”
Highlight from Seminary: “From a young age people told me that someday I would be a pastor, which of course I fought for more than 35 years! I love serving the Lord in this role, and found my time at the Seminary invaluable in helping prepare me to serve as a pastor in the LCMS.”
Advice for prospective students: “The Lord is at work in your life, forming you to be a pastor who will serve His church. Let your ultimate identity be formed by Him, resting in His grace.”
