About Me
- Stephen Harder
- I was born in American Falls, ID. I've lived in Washington most of my life. I got saved when I was 8 and answered the call to become a pastor when I was 10. In my mid-teen years, because of some things going on in my own life, I convinced myself that there was no way I was cut out for the ministry nor was I qualified. I was set on having a cabin in the mountains and removing myself from society as much as possible. I decided some Bible college would be good though, especially since Mom and Dad wanted me to go for at least one year. So I came to Northland when I was 20. I decided to major in Camp Ministries because I thought it sounded fun. But deep down inside I couldn't ever see myself at a camp. Furthermore, I couldn't shake the feeling that I needed to change my major. Camp Ministries was not what I was supposed to do. Through a series of events that would take up more space than I have here, I changed my major to Pastoral Studies at the end of my Sophmore year. And it's a blast! I love it. And God has called me into the ministry.
