Known as “Pastor Mary” on campus, she loves to meet with any student to talk about life, faith, or anything else. When her schedule allows, Dr. Hulst also lectures around the country on preaching, teaches workshops for preachers, and consults with churches and search committees on how to listen to sermons. Her book A Little Handbook for Preachers was released in 2016. A native of Holland, Michigan, Mary loves the outdoors, hiking, kayaking, and every now and then she takes up running again. Mary is married to Drew Kromminga and lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
