Meet the 2011-12 Student Chaplains

Naomi Graber

I am a senior from Elkhart, Ind. I absolutely love being at Bethel, and all the opportunities surrounding me with wonderful professors, staff and friends. I enjoy participating in music groups on campus, including Concert Choir and Wind Ensemble. As a student chaplain, I feel passionate about finding a place for everyone, not only for their benefit, but for the benefit of the whole community. I hope and pray for everyone to have the space and support needed for mature seeking, as well as the encouragement and wisdom for sincere faithfulness.

I am a junior, business administration major from Moundridge, Kan. I play clarinet in the Wind Ensemble and participate in Service Corps, College Buddies, as well as a number of other campus groups. Honestly, this student chaplaincy has me more than a bit anxious. How do I make myself available to a student body of over 500 members? What does that look like? However, I excitedly look forward to discovering new ways in which to interact and get to know these members as a fellow student, not as someone who is anything other than an ordinary sinner. In the year ahead I can only send up a nervous prayer that God’s will be done through this leadership role I have been given.
