    Author

    Stanley Warren Hagemeyer

    Stan Hagemeyer was born and raised on a small farm in Minnesota. He likes to say the "farm boy" has never left his identity. Educated at Hope College and Western Theological Seminary in Holland, MI, he also studied in Kolkata (Calcutta) India for two years following seminary. Stan says those two years living on a minimalist grant have inevitably helped shape his global perspective. He served churches in the Reformed Church in America for a few years, and was the founding director of Good News Community in Grand Rapids MI, which primarily served singles and divorced individuals. Around that time he completed his Doctor of Ministry degree at Western Theological Seminary. Stan then pastored Saranac Community Church, in Saranac, Michigan for over a decade and was also interim professor of pastoral care at Western Theological Seminary for a year. In the following years he says he has been blessed by getting acquainted with a variety of Christian communities while serving as interim pastor for nine different churches in three denominations in Michigan, New York, Ohio, and Nebraska. Together with his wife, Mary Ann, he lives on a small lake in upper Michigan, off the beaten path. They have four married children with twelve grandchildren. Stan enjoys the outdoors through XC skiing, a walk in the woods, fishing and photography. He can be reached at stanhagemeyer.com.
