Note for: Tiete Hager, 6 MAY 1862 - 21 OCT 1946 Index

Individual Note:
On 6 April, 1885 Tiete (Titus) emigrated to Paterson where he was a member of the Christian Reformed Church (CRC).When Titus was 29 he became an elder in the First Christian Reformed Church at Paterson. On the 31st of May 1893 he became a member of the Netherlands Reformed Congregation. He founded this congregation together with the clergyman J.A. Prins, who was a clergyman at Passaic. This J.A. Prins confirmed Titus Hager as a clergyman in November 1893 after he had been a kind of "helping clergyman" for some years. Titus Hager married after 1885 a woman named WIETSKE (WINNIFRED) WAGENAAR. They moved to Grand Rapids, MI in 1897 where he was serving the Turner Avenue (Nederduitsch) Reformed Church when Harry was born (1899). Since Harry graduated from high school in Muskegon, MI, we assume they moved to Muskegon sometime between 1899 and 1918.

Individual Note:
Harry James Hager was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan on May 16, 1899 while his father, Rev. Titus Hager, was serving the Turner Avenue (Nederduitsch) Reformed Church. After graduating from high school in Muskegon, Michigan he attended Hope College and Western Theological Seminary receiving a B.A. in 1920 and B.D. in 1924. Hager married Hope graduate (1920) Jeannette Vander Werp on August 12, 1924.
Upon graduation from seminary in 1924, Hager was licensed by Classis Passaic of the Reformed Church in America and was installed at the Forest Grove Reformed Church near Hudsonville, Michigan. He served there only until 1926.
In 1926 President Edward Dimnent offered him a position at Hope College as Professor of Biblical Literature and College Pastor and he served in this capacity until 1929. In December, 1928 he was called to Bethany Reformed Church in the Roseland area of Chicago, Illinois and was installed on May 1, 1929. During his first decade at Bethany he received a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago (1933) and an honorary doctorate from Hope College (1937). Hager served Bethany until his retirement in 1975.
Radio outreach was a significant portion of Hager's work and he served as a pioneer in the emerging media ministry. This ministry began with the Sunday afternoon Bethany Bible Broadcast in 1933 and later with a daily "family altar" program each morning. On September 24, 1944 the first Sunday evening service was broadcast on Chicago radio station WCFL. This broadcast featuring Hager was later named America for God, and was featured weekly until 1977 on WCFL and other midwest radio stations.
Hager was active in the administration of the Reformed Church in America. He served as vice-president of General Synod in 1945-46 and as its president in 1946-47. He also served as the president of the Particular Synod of Chicago and as an advocate for church missions.
Jeannette Hager passed away on February 17, 1977. Harry Hager died on May 15, 1983 in Holland, Michigan.
