“The Steinbach Arts Council and our Arts Community in general, has benefited significantly from Mr. Klassen’s involvement in local musicals, directing choirs and teaching private voice – we are proud to hail him as one of ‘Steinbach’s Own’ success stories, and to fully support and endorse his strong musical abilities, and his exceptional personal qualities, in all future endeavors!”

Cinthia Rempel Patrick, Steinbach Arts Council

Community contribution is extremely important to me, which is why I like to get involved.

The “Longest Night” service is a special, sacred service that I have helped develop and continue to work on from year to year.  It has become a tradition in our community, bringing people together who have experienced loss or hardships.  Go to gracemennonnitesteinbach.ca for more info.

I’m often found keeping busy getting involved in the community, from presenting concerts and events for the Steinbach Arts Council, to teaching young students in the area of musical theatre, to directing full scale productions in my home city!
