Tim Stranske

Family & Background:

My wife (Mary) and I have been married since 1973 and have three grown children: Tim, a chemistry teacher; Gail, an engineer (Married to Bill Hampsmire, an electrician); and Sarah, a nurse practitioner.  I have served as a Christian school administrator for 28 years and worked at Biola  part time for 7 years and full time since 2003.  Mary and I enjoy going for walks together, reading and serving at Grace.

Education & Experience:

BA and teachers credential + MA from Biola University; Ph.D. from Claremont Graduate University.  I have served in churches in various capacities including committees for finances, Christian education, missions, human resources, deacons, and Elder boards.

Long-term prayer requests:

  • For us to continue to encourage and support our children as they pursue their walk with God.
  • For opportunities to get to know our neighbors and be able to share Christ with them.
  • To know how to best serve the Lord after we retire from paid employment--that is a very long-term request.
