Our Staff
The staff at Zion are praying for you...
We have a program we titled KIT (Keeping In Touch). At our weekly staff meetings, we pray for different members of Zion and then let them know with a postcard. Please know that we love you and care for you just as God loves and cares for all of us. We are excited to share this with all of you and hope that you are blessed.
Senior Pastor
Stephen M. Bauerle
pastorsteve@zionwaterville.com
Pastor Steve Bauerle has been the Senior Pastor at Zion for 22 years. Pastor Steve is married to Amy who is a Speech Therapist and they have 4 children. They are Sarah, who works in the radio business at Clear Channel, Markus, who works at UPS, Erik, who is a student athlete at Owens Community College studying Law Enforcement and playing soccer and Kaylyn who is a ninth grader.
After serving Zion for many years, Pastor Steve would say that he has served “four churches in the same place.” When he first began in 1987, Zion was considered more of a rural, small town church, followed by a bedroom ‘transient’ community church where people quickly moved in and out. Then Zion began as a church that focused on outreach and community, to its present state of adding staff where we pray that God will take us in a direction that we anxiously await.
Pastor Steve enjoys sports, yard work, and fishing, which he will find more time to do!
Associate Pastor
Daniel Bredberg
Pastor Dan was called as Zion's first Associate pastor in June of 2007. Dan is blessed to be married to his beautiful wife Jessica and together they share the joy of parenting two boys: Lucas and Isaiah. Dan has a passion for finding new ways to reach people with the Good News of Jesus Christ. He created and leads Zion's new worship ministry "Ignite Fellowship" which meets at 5:00 PM on Saturday evenings. You can read more about Ignite by clicking on the IF logo on Zion's website home page. When he's not at church or chasing his kids around, Dan enjoys playing drums and guitar, singing, photography and golf.
