Director of Youth Ministries

Quien es?

I, Christoffer Molnar, moved to Washington, DC in the summer of 2008 to enter American University's Master of Fine Arts creative writing program. Before my current graduate studies at AU, I dallied in engineering, journalism, truancy, medicine, education, youth ministry (history repeats itself), and unemployment. Some, as you may guess, were more productive than others. All came to an end, and thus I found myself on the eastern seaboard after a life spent almost entirely in Ohio.

I actually happen to take great pride in the Midwest, which has shaped quite a bit of my life and me. I like farms and long flat roads, apple orchards and corn mazes, and people who will define themselves as mother or father before doctor or lawyer. I don't want to disparage the District or its residents, but let me just say that the culture here is quite significantly different from Cincinnati or Cleveland or any other fine midwestern city.

But now here I am, working on writing and personal growth, and hopefully helping TPPC youth do the same (mostly personal growth, though I'm sure I will occasionally inflict a grammar lesson upon them.) Call me narcissistic, but I found that developing and discovering my identity was the key to my maturation into the glorious, perfect man that I now am. As such, I hope to help these students make similar explorations, learning how to be the person God has made them to be in the world God has made. And I guess we can have some fun, too, if we have to.
