MINISTRY LEADERSHIP
Mac Threinen
Pastor
Pastor Mac is married to Tracey and they have four children together. After receiving the Lord here in January of 1996 as a college student at WSU, the Lord called him back as its Lead Pastor in the fall of 2015. Pastor Mac is passionate about seeing people transformed by the love of Jesus Christ and reading for ministry in his free time, which is hopefully accompanied by strong coffee and chocolate chip cookies.
Kathy Young
Pastor
Pastor Kathy is married to Steve Young and they have three adult children together. They moved to Winona in 1994, where they immediately felt at home. Kathy grew up on a farm in central Minnesota and has a background in business, music and theology. Her initial call into ministry came in 2004 when the Lord’s voice woke her from her sleep and spoke His assignment over her. Her greatest joy is helping people know God intimately, discover their calling, and boldly live out His purposes in this generation.
Tracey Threinen
Director of The Bridge Campus Ministry
Tracey is married to Pastor Mac and is mother to Rylan, Alek, Kada, and Elianah. She was a student at WSU a couple decades ago, and it was at Living Light Church, now Radiant Church, where she began a personal relationship with Jesus. Since then Tracey has developed a passion to walk alongside students in their journey of faith. She leads The Bridge College Ministry and co-leads the BOLD Youth Ministry at Radiant with Pastor Mac.
Katie Bobier
Office Admin & Director of Children's Ministry
Katie is married to Chris, a professor at SMU, and a mother to two young children. She taught upper elementary and junior high in a private Christian school for nearly a decade before transitioning to full-time mom after moving to Winona. Training children up is Kingdom work with eternal value. She enjoys walking alongside other families as they partner together to raise up disciples in the next generation.
