Ross Manders

Where did you grow up/go to school?
I grew up in Brooklyn Park and attended Bethel College and Bethel Seminary.

What is your current position at Bethel and for how long?
My title is assistant campus pastor and I have been in this role since February of 2009.

What is your family like? (Spouses, kids, pets)
My wonderful wife, Emily, teaches piano lessons and also stays at home with our son, Ethan. 

What is your favorite college memory?
Wow, where to begin? I am not sure which of the many I would choose as a favorite memory but I would have to say that all of them involved my roommates. Some of the best times would be the prank war we had (3 years running) with our close group of girl friends, playing “Tennis ball golf” all across campus, mud-sliding down seminary hill (watch out for the acorns), and engaging in life-changing conversations with others who loved the Lord.  

When not at Bethel, what can you be found doing? (Interests, hobbies, etc.)
Spending time with my wife and son! Cheering on the twins!
