| Pastor Stephen Wiesenauer |
Rev. Stephen Wiesenauer
Before graduating from Concordia Seminary, St. Louis in 2006, Rev. Stephen Wiesenauer served as a missionary in Taiwan, Republic of China for six years and was involved with a Chinese church plant in St. Louis, MO. Stephen’s passion is that people would know Christ and make Him known.
With a heart for the Chinese, Stephen was called to Risen Christ Lutheran Church in 2006 as Associate Pastor for Chinese Outreach. While here, he has helped create and leads Christian Friends of China, a ministry that enables congregations and individuals to share the Gospel and implement outreach to Chinese in the Twin Cities.
Stephen is married to Krista; they have one daughter Lydia. Stephen enjoys spending time with his family, good Chinese tea and food, playing the guitar and reading.
“Sing the praises of the LORD, enthroned in Zion; proclaim among the nations what he has done!”
Psalm 9:11
