Summer 2025 Speaker Highlight
Kris Stache currently serves as Professor of Missional Leadership and Vice President for Leadership Formation at Wartburg Theological Seminary, where she has been since 2007. Kris brings a holistic, missional, and community-centered vision to her teaching and administrative leadership. In 2019 she was awarded a fellowship through Villanova’s Center for Church Management to conduct original research on visionary leadership in the ELCA that explored how one’s understanding of God shapes the way one leads. Kris received her PhD in Congregational Mission and Leadership from Luther Seminary, with a dissertation titled, “Feminist Theology and Missional Church: An Exploration into the Doctrine of the Trinity and its Understanding in Four Denominational Systems.” Kris and her husband Alan live in Dubuque, Iowa with their children and grandchildren.

God in Us: Identity, Resistance, and Belonging

Our week together will focus on God’s presence and work in us, our spiritual formation in Christ, as individuals created by God called to live in community. Centering ourselves in scripture, we will spend the week drawing on the wisdom of Christian mystics and engaging in a variety of spiritual practices to reflect on what God is doing in us, through all the stories of our lives as beloved children of God.
