About

I am a pastor, writer, theology nerd, and coffee snob currently serving as the Pastor at Covenant Church of Thomaston in Thomaston, Connecticut. I have a BA in Communications from Sterling College and a MA from Covenant Theological Seminary, and am currently pursuing a PhD in Educational Studies at TEDS. Connect with me on Threads/Instagram at @stephanienels.

Oh, and puppy snuggles and chocolate are proof that Jesus is continuing to redeem the world.

I speak (outside the church) on topic such as pop culture, the Enneagram, spiritual gifts, preaching, navigating the Bible, and soul care.

I’ve contributed to Now She Rises, Fathom Magazine and Morning by Morning. Check them out below.
