Tom Stefonik

Tom’s heart is filled with love for the Lord, love for his family and a love for music. Tom and his wife, Sue, have been blessed with a blended family of five adult children and ten grandchildren. Tom’s passion has always been for playing music and singing praises to the LORD with the hope that those who are listening will be moved by the power of the Holy Spirit to feel the presence of God in their hearts. Besides his dedication to God and commitment to New Hope Community Church, he is a car nut, a technology nerd, a guitar picker and is striving to be a world-class grandpa. He also enjoys traveling and camping.

Scott is a native of South Dakota and grew up (and still is) a fan of Minnesota sports teams. This makes for some interesting conversations in Wisconsin! He met his wife at a church game night in the Twin Cities. They have two boys at home. The Welges enjoy good food, good conversation, and good humor.

When not working for the Wausau School District, Scott enjoys reading, hiking, talking theology, and listening to music. 

Scott is grateful to be able to serve New Hope with his gifts and time. His passion is to see Christ’s people encouraged and built up. His prayer is that God would stir us up to love each other and the world around us as God has so graciously loved us in His Son Jesus.
