Ruben W. & Regina Kern Christian Scholarship

Ruben W. & Regina Kern Christian Scholarship

Theirs was a deep devotion to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

This scholarship honors Mr. & Mrs. Kern whose kind generosity, love for their Lord and for their church, and concern for preparing students to serve that Lord have made this scholarship possible. Mr. Kern devoted much of his life in serving St. Lorenz congregation. He also served the community of Frankenmuth in a number of different areas. The list of his accomplishments and his service record, both to the church and to the community, is long and varied. Mrs. Kern, whose grandfather was one of the fifteen original settlers of Frankenmuth, supported her husband in many of his endeavors. She brought up her family to recognize that our Savior and Lord was to play a dominant role in their lives.
Both Mr. & Mrs. Kern enjoyed residing in Frankenmuth and were grateful to our Lord for granting them many years of life. Through this scholarship, they wish to continue for many years their active support of the church and thereby show their deep devotion to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
