MEET OUR TEAM

Say hello to the leadership team at St Stephen. Got questions for the lead team at St Stephen?

Rev. Christopher

Lead Pastor

Rev. Christopher Wisener serves as the Senior Pastor of St. Stephen United Methodist Church. He is an ordained Elder in The United Methodist Church, which means he is called to preach, teach, lead the church, celebrate the sacraments, and attend more meetings than anyone should probably admit.

He earned his Master of Divinity from Saint Paul School of Theology with a specialization in Wesleyan Studies. He is passionate about helping people grow in love with God and one another, live faithfully, and take part in God’s work in the world.

Christopher and his wife, Christina, have four children, CJ, Chelsea, Carly, and Camryn, along with their brown Lab, Chaco. He enjoys spending time with his family, playing games, learning, laughing, and serving alongside people who are seeking to follow Jesus with grace, faithfulness, and love.
