  ABOUT US  
Pastor Judi Huseth
Welcome from Pastor Judi Huseth

I began ministry with St. Paul in May of 2006, joining my husband Terry, Vice-President for Agricultural Lending at Sauk Valley Bank in Sterling. I have been a pastor since 1983, having received degrees from the University of Texas, Austin (BBA in accounting/1977) and from Wartburg Theological Seminary (Master of Divinity/1983 and Master’s Degree in Sacred Theology /1995).

My family includes a son, David, who lives in Austin, TX; and three daughters: Michele_(Dave)_Thompson in Stoughton, WI, Heather_(Jim)_Adams in Brookfield, WI, and Alyssa_Huseth in Janesville, WI.

My main interests in ministry include meaningful and inclusive worship as well as pastoral care and spiritual direction, which I describe as accompanying people in their journeys of faith through the passages of life.

We celebrated our 100th anniversary in 2007. The present building was completed in 1955. To see the complete 100 year history, view the "History" page.

Our Congregation

The Congregation

Members of our congregation are from thoughout the Sauk Valley Area in northwest Illinois; including Sterling, Rock Falls, Morrison, Polo and Dixon.

Our congregation is inter-woven in many ways. In 2007 to symbolize this, each member of the church was offered the opportunity to place a "weave" in a banner. This resulted in two banners over 20 feet long! Our congregation members come from all walks of life. We are woven together in the Body of Christ as the Body of Christ. To God be the Glory!
