Pastor Rev. Judine Duerwaechter
It is a privilege to have been called by God to serve the long standing ministries of St. John’s. I am Pastor Judine Duerwaechter, settled pastor at St. John’s. I invite you to Worship on Sundays at 9:00 AM, either in person or live stream. Our Worship team seeks to coordinate a spirit filled service each week, with a variety of dynamics to open us up to Love.
As a pastor, I feel gifted in pastoral care and counseling and have been trained as a marriage and family therapist. Ordained in the United Church of Christ WI Conference, I have served in statewide leadership roles, as a member of the Board for World Ministries, and as a board member for various secular nonprofits statewide. I have been deeply enriched by my ministries serving secularly as a marriage and family therapist for the Sheboygan County Health and Human Services in Child Protective Services, as well as with community shelters. In addition, I loved my work touring schools nationally with The Stutman Group addressing parents and kids regarding the hardships of substance abuse. As a pastor my counseling work continues to involve strengthening relationships with families affected by emotional and mental illness issues, and substance abuse. I am personally no stranger to hardship and trauma, but with full confidence know Who I am and Whose I am as I recognize the revealed blessings in all things. However I can assist someone in that same discovery process, I will offer all my heart to do so. Please feel free to contact me at the church office with any questions and joys you may have to share. 920-452-5296
Please take a further look at those who I share ministry with daily…St. John’s is blessed with a strong team of ministers to serve and support you.
With love, Pastor Judine
