Completing Our P&C Testimonial Speaker Lineup: Pastor Matt Kruse

As we look back over the past 80 years of Christian education, we appreciate our heritage of faithful families, committed staff, and God’s steady provision, and we press onward to the future of all God has planned for Berean Academy. We are honored to introduce Pastor Matt Kruse as our final testimonial speaker for this special evening. Matt, along with his wife, Julie, has been profoundly impacted by the ministry of Berean Academy. Their four children have each benefited from a Christ-centered education—two as graduates and two as current high school students. The Kruse family’s connection to Berean runs deep, shaping their appreciation for the school’s commitment to academic excellence and spiritual formation.

Matt serves on the Berean Board, where he provides guidance and support for the school’s mission. In addition, he ministers as one of the pastors at Newton Bible Church, faithfully shepherding families and investing in the discipleship of the next generation. Matt’s passion for Christian education stems from his conviction that it holds unique and powerful potential to influence students’ lives in ways that carry eternal significance.

We are sincerely grateful for Matt’s leadership, his heart for Christian education, and his willingness to share his testimony at this year’s banquet.
