Tom Stelzl

I began serving at Montague in January 2023. This is my second appointment, and it has been a season of growth, learning, and joy as I continue to find my rhythm in ministry and life. I am excited to see what new chapters and milestones lie ahead in this journey.

I am currently working on my Master of Divinity at Drew Theological School in New Jersey. My passion for ministry grows out of a deep belief that the church should be a place where people are seen, valued, and encouraged to become more fully who God created them to be. I am drawn to helping others make sense of Scripture in ways that speak to their real lives across generations, experiences, and questions, and to building communities rooted in grace, honesty, and justice.

I hold closely the conviction that faith must be lived with integrity: that what we preach on Sunday should take shape in how we treat people on Monday. I believe in leading with humility, listening before speaking, and always seeking the image of God in every person.

When I am not working, you will probably find me spending time with my Golden Retriever, Jed, or catching up with friends. I would love the chance to connect and hear more of your story sometime soon.
