Rev. Mark van Stee, Senior Pastor
Grüezi and Welcome in the name of Jesus Christ to IPC Zurich! I’m Rev. Mark W. van Stee, and I have served as the Senior Pastor here since August of 2023. My wife Lynn and I came to Zurich from Chicago, and over the years we have called a few places home, including London and Düsseldorf. We have three grown children currently living in the United States who are studying and working in various parts of the country.
Before becoming a pastor, I worked in the field of global logistics for 14 years, traveling the world and enjoying a wide variety of cultures and people. It’s has been a joy to be “redeployed” by God in his kingdom to serve him as a pastor for the past 16 years now, and it’s a particular joy to be here in Zurich serving him in this very global setting.
I hope you experience us at IPC Zurich as a warm and welcoming community of followers of Jesus Christ, a selfless and loving people committed to witnessing to the beauty and truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. As a church, our prayer is to be used by God as an instrument of his grace in Zurich and beyond, and we would love to have you join us in this kingdom calling, for the glory of God and the good of his world.
Nathan Wannemacher, Associate Pastor
Hello! We are Nathan and Janina Wannemacher. I (Nathan) am Associate Pastor at IPC, and Janina is a Sozialpädagogin working here in Zurich. We grew up together in Thailand. Janina moved back to Switzerland 10 years ago, and I joined her when we got married!
I have been blessed to be working at IPC since June 2021, and have truly loved the special community and warmth that is here. I am looking forward to seeing how God continues to use, sanctify, and grow our congregation, and what adventures he will take our church on in the future.
