Pastor Stan Christopherson and his wife Aimee arrived in Bonners Ferry, with their two girls, in May of 2004. Pastor Stan has a BS in Chemistry from the University of Texas at Arlington, and worked as a chemist for eight years before receiving his call to ministry. In answering this call, he and his family moved to Kansas City where he received his Masters of Divinity, with a specialization in Evangelism, from Nazarene Theological Seminary. This diverse background provides him with the ability to integrate “real-world” issues with what it means to live a life “sold out” to Jesus Christ. Pastor Stan is a Captain in the local volunteer fire department and also enjoys golfing, skiing and fishing, and has even taken up hunting recently. He also loves tech gadgets.

Aimee’s background includes an Education and Special Education degree from Central Washington University, and enjoys the periodic opportunities to substitute in the public school system. She has a particular passion for working with special needs kids, and works as a therapist. In her “spare” time, Aimee loves going to garage sales and can often be found at one of the local thrift shops. If there’s a bargain to be found, she has a knack for finding it.

It doesn’t take long to pick up on the fact that Pastor Stan is committed to reaching the community in multiple ways, that he believes in the importance of living what we believe, and that all these things are completely intertwined with the importance of investing in people’s lives. As evidence of that, he and Aimee have put those words into action by becoming foster parents.

In 2008, Pastor Stan began work on his Doctorate in Ministry degree at Nazarene Theological Seminary.
