Little known fact
At the same time that Dr. Stroup was beginning her time at Malone, God was also calling her family to plant a church. Her husband launched and pastors Community Bible Church in North Lawrence, Ohio. Dr. Stroup describes this experience as the most exciting and terrifying adventure she has been on, watching the church grow from 6 people around the dining room table to a thriving community of believers. Her greatest joys are found at home in her husband, Joel, and 3 daughters.
