Our Staff

Our church's staff supports the ministry of all member disciples at St. Paul's. The apostle Paul saw his role as one of equipping the saints for their work of sharing the good news. Although our roles and activities differ, we serve the same purpose and are there for one another.

As the pandemic continues to linger, staff will continue to work both at church and at home. Health precautions may be requested.

• Administrative Assistant Marina Mondragon will be in the office Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:30-11:30am, and Fridays from 8:30-10:00am. She will work from home on Mondays and Wednesdays.

• Pastor Stefan Munker will be at church at varying times on most days between Monday and Thursday. Friday is his day off, but he is always available for emergencies.

Stefan Munker

Pastor

Pastor Munker was born in Germany where he was baptized in the Lutheran church and came to faith in his youth. During a seminary exchange in the US, he met his wife Cynthia. She is pastoring at Mt. Zion Lutheran Church in Litchfield. Pastor Munker is excited about sharing the invitation to meet and follow Jesus. He is leading the "flock" of Jesus at St. Paul's in our shared worship, learning, and outreach.

Elizabeth (Liz) Allen
Choir Director

Our new choir director has been active behind the scenes to work on our music program and has shared her own musical talents for worship services. She recently began the Bell Choir season at St. Paul's, and plans to begin practices for Vocal Choir when it is safe and practical. We are grateful for her generous involvement and passion to serve our church.
