Ty Lemke is our Senior High Guy as of summer 2006. "I desire to make disciples that make disciples. My passion is to work with students - spend time with them, teaching them, walking with them, and learning from them."

Along with degrees from Hope College and an M.Div. from Michigan Theological Seminary, Ty brings to HPBC Student Ministries great experience as a youth pastor and as the Bible Department Coordinator/ Teacher/ Chaplain at Southfield Christian School.

He and Charity have two terrific boys - Caleb (3 1/2) and Nolan (1 1/2). Around the house he loves to spend time with the family, sleep for more than five hours in a row, read anything and everything, listen to and play music, play sports, spend time on the water, play the occasional video game, and go outdoors for "the manliest of past-times...grilling."
