He graduated with his Master’s in the History of Christianity from Yale University in 2015. He earned his Bachelor’s in History from The Ohio State University. Marcus was born to an Amish family in the heart of Holmes County, Ohio. He moved to the Mennonite church where he has had active roles in teaching, pastoring, preaching, and writing over the past twenty-five years. His study of Anabaptism has guided his life and informed his interpretation of Christian theology. His love for Christ and community motivates his continued life of service. He and his wife Norita Yoder currently live in Millersburg, Ohio.

Stuart Mullet earned his master’s degree in English from the University of Mississippi, and his bachelor’s degree in English from Grace College in Indiana. He especially looks forward to utilizing his schooling in an Anabaptist setting. “It’s important to me that we not only pursue excellence but foster a kind of writing and reading practice that enriches our Anabaptist communities–that grounds us in our rich history, theology, and traditions even as we encounter other perspectives.” He recently moved to the Holmes County area with his wife, Natalie. They have one child, Auden, and are awaiting their second child in November of 2021.
