As one of first baptism on record at what was then St. Andrew United Presbyterian Church, Randy Hausler was born into the church family. After working alongside Phil Butin (St. Andrew's first Youth Director) and other church leaders, Randy answered the call to Youth Ministry. His first call in Youth Ministry was to Kendall Presbyterian Church in Miami, Florida. In 1985, Randy returned to St. Andrew to fill the position of Youth Director. Since then, he has developed the church's strong junior high and senior high ministries and had a lasting impact on a generation of St. Andrew families. He lives in Iowa City with his wife, Peggy. They have three daughters: Molly, Mary, and Anna. In his free time, Randy enjoys Hawkeye Football, working in the yard, traveling with Peggy, family and friends, and back yard bonfires.
