 It's an inauguration day at Oak Hills Christian College in Bemidji. Dr. Martin Geese is the 10th president in the school's 90-year ministry history. His ceremony began with a welcome accompanied by a bagpipe and then a song. Something you may not know about the Oak Hills new president is his passion for hats. But Dr. Geese's brother made sure to tell the crowd. Geese is an alumnus of Oak Hills, having graduated in 1977 and appreciates the community's support. Well, I have a deep passion to see churches thrive in churches of every tradition. And so I have a background also in town and country ministry. So churches in rural places have a special part of my heart. And Oak Hills leans into that same purview. So there's a good match there. Geese is a Minnesota native and was recently the senior pastor of Faith Bridge Church in Park Rapids.
