McPherson (Kan.) College has chosen a new campus minister with deep
roots in both the spiritual and the scientific--Steve Crain.
The campus minister is responsible for the spiritual life of the
McPherson College campus. Among the responsibilities are creating
spiritual formation programs, supporting students of faith, and
connecting students in need to available resources. The campus minister
helps create the connection between the intellectual and spiritual at
the college.
Crain comes to McPherson College from Fort Wayne, Ind., where he has
served as director of Christian formation at Trinity Episcopal Church;
co-chaplain for Timbercrest Senior Living Community, a Church of the
Brethren retirement community; and adjunct faculty at the Department of
Philosophy and Theology at the University of Saint Francis. He also has
previous experience as a campus pastor at Manchester College in North
Manchester, Ind.
Ordained in the Church of the Brethren, he holds a bachelor’s degree
in physics from Stanford, a master’s degree in theology from Fuller
Theological Seminary, and a master’s in history and philosophy of
science from the University of Notre Dame from which he also received
his doctorate in theology. His academic focus has been on the
relationship between theology and natural science. In his spare time, he
is a passionate reader and outdoorsman.
