My name is Brad Kleinjans. I was born and raised right here in west Michigan. I graduated from Hudsonville High School in 2006. The LORD sent me the most beautiful woman, Lexi, who I have been married to since 2015. She kept me rooted here, and we have a beautiful family of 5. Isabella, Wade, and Abel are our 3 children who truly dictate our lives. Being a dad and a husband has been the greatest blessing of my life. I love to be with my wife and kids, and I also love to fellowship with good friends and family. My wife has taught me to be hospitable, and I love being around people. I like watching sports and being outdoors, but I like hunting deer the most. There is no adrenaline rush quite comparable that I have found. I was a 4th generation roofer, and I have been roofing houses since I was a kid. But I was given the gift of gab, and I can’t help but talk, and talk loudly. I combine that with my passion for Jesus, and ministry seems to fit right in my holster. The LORD has put ministry in my heart for years, and I now have the opportunity to relate to students and people in general, so that the LORD can use me as a tool to draw his chosen closer to Him. I’m excited for this next chapter, and all it entails.
