Patric Knaak

Patric Knaak is the Area Director for Renewal at Serge, a mission sending agency in the reformed tradition. He and his wife Jennifer both grew up in western Illinois, where they attended the same church and Patric perptually annoyed Jennifer. Eventually his diligence paid off, and they both attended the Moody Bible Instistute in Chicago and were married in 1992 after graduating. Patric then finished a M.A. in theology at Wheaton Graduate School while also working to write curriculum for a national broadcasting and publishing ministry. In 1995 he and Jennifer moved to Scotland so that he could pursue a Ph.D. in theology at New College, University of Edinburgh. Unfortunately he spent far too much time golfing and far too little time studying and did not complete his degree, though he did serve as the theological content editor for the “Bible for Personal Revival” (Zondervan). Prior to joining Serge, Patric served at Naperville Presbyterian Church (PCA) out side of Chicago, most recently as the assistant pastor for adult education and spiritual formation. Patric is an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church in America, and he and Jennifer have one son, Parker who joined their family in 2004.
