Dr. Stephen Rankin is Professor of Religious Studies/Campus Minister of Southwestern College in Winfield, KS 

As an educator, Dr. Rankin believes "learning involves the whole person, so real learning influences attitudes and behaviors, as well as concepts. I believe learning is a lifetime vocation. I believe learning involves hard work. I believe real education gives one a humble confidence and deep sense of satisfaction. I believe it is the teacher's job to stimulate rigorous, disciplined thought and to help the students see the value in the material being studied."

Steve is married to Joni. The Rankins have lived in Winfield since 1995. They have four children and one grandchild.
