PASTOR DAVID SCHILLING, VISITATION PASTOR
If you think of Jesus in action, chances are you visualize him helping someone who’s ill, hurting or worse. Immanuel’s commitment to Jesus’ healing ministry extends to our shut-ins, aged, hospitalized and imprisoned. Our Stephens Ministers and Elders visit many of the above and Pastor David supplements those visits and more with his calls. He currently has about 30 people that receive monthly home visits and again that many who are seen on an as needed basis because of their ongoing health concerns. Both pastors make hospital visits and Pastor David is “Chaplain on Call” volunteer at two of our area hospitals. Although he is technically retired and part-time, when you ask, he’ll tell you: “If retirement means doing what you love, I am retired.” He also brings a lot of energy to our worship by assisting on Sunday mornings and enjoys preaching from time to time at Immanuel as well.

Jean Beck received her degree and certification as Director of Christian Education from Concordia St. Paul, MN in 2002 and has been at Immanuel since then. Before graduating she served as a Missionary/English teacher in Taiwan for 2 1/2 years. She feels called to teach and train others for service to Christ. Her greatest joy is hearing how God has used others in ministry and is blessed to be able to provide opportunities for that. Many people know her from her laughter and she is prepared to give an answer to anyone who asks to give the reason for the hope she has.
