Benj Lawrenz is a member at St. Marcus Lutheran Church in Milwaukee, where he and his wife, Maureen, and their four children, Atticus, Jude, Jasper, and Eve reside. A self-taught carpenter, Benj loves a challenge, and recently refurbished his entire early 19th century home on Milwaukee's near north side. He works as a custom woodworker, but his passion resides in music and ministry.   A graduate of Martin Luther College in New Ulm, Minnesota, Lawrenz studied to be a minister. Yet his love for music and desire to share God's message of love with others brought him to Koiné. Benj looks forward to taking Koiné's music across the country, and sharing, in his opinion, some of the best songs ever made.
