Pastor Dirk Kramer has ministered in the Drayton Reformed Church for more than twenty years. He grew up in western Michigan. He graduated from Hope College with a bachelor’s degree and from Western Theological Seminary with a master of divinity degree. He currently serves on the board of trustees for the seminary.

Pastor Kramer and his wife, Jean, are the parents of six grown children. Both he and Jean enjoy gardening. Pastor Kramer is also an avid canoeist, and tells us that Jean is usually willing to accompany him—as long as the bugs aren’t biting. His many canoe trips have provided interesting adventures which he often shares with us, especially during the children’s message on Sunday mornings.
