Welcome to season 2 of Church Chat, the show that has the conversations about ministry you wish you were having. Today, we're talking to Greg Wollenhaupt, Care Director at Faith Church in Allentown, PA. We chat about reinventing yourself in ministry, what it looks like to serve in one church for decades, the losses associated with growth, creating an environment where people feel like they belong, the importance of sabbaticals, advice for a thriving ministry marriage, ministering while grieving and more!
By day, Greg Wollenhaupt is the compassionate Care Director at Faith Church, ensuring that every member feels supported and valued. By night (and weekend), he's the reigning Poppop of six energetic grandchildren, a title he holds with a touch of exhaustion. Married to the amazing Sue Wollenhaupt, Greg knows that behind every great man is an even greater woman, reminding him where he left his keys.
An aficionado of glamping, Greg believes in experiencing the great outdoors with all the comforts of home, because why should nature mean sacrificing a good cup of coffee or a comfy chair? His idea of roughing it includes a fully stocked RV and a reliable Wi-Fi signal.
Whether he's providing care at church, sharing stories with his grandkids, or setting up the perfect glamp-site, Greg does it all with a smile, a joke, and perhaps a marshmallow or two.
