/files/Gallery/Staff Pics/stine.jpg MEET OUR PASTOR OF CHRISTIAN EDUCATION & HIS FAMILY
Pastor Wade Stine serves as our Pastor of Christian Education. Wade has served at the Decatur Parkway Church of the Nazarene as the youth pastor and has also been a pulpit supply pastor for the Illinois District. He is married to his wonderful wife and supporter, Paula. They have two children, Tessa and Logan. They are both from the Decatur area. Wade's education comes from different universities and colleges, including Northwest Nazarene University, Olivet Nazarene University, Illinois District School of Ministry and Richland Community College. He is still working towards ordination.
Paula attended Olivet Nazarene University for two years and finished up at Illinois State University with a Bachelor's in Geology. Their interests as a family are camping, canoeing, biking, and simply being together. They are thrilled to serve here at Decatur First, and look forward to see what God has in store. Both of them believe that God has placed them here for a specific reason. Winning souls for Christ is our ultimate goal in the end, no matter what their assigned specific tasks.
