Help yourself to a cup of coffee and feel free to bring it into the service.

Pastor Tiffany Chipman serves as pastor at St. Stephen and St. John Lutheran churches in Edgar, Wisconsin.  She comes into ministry as  second-career pastor.   

Raised in Hayward, Wisconsin, she spent her early years working in customer sales and service.  In 2012, Tiffany began volunteering in children's ministry at her home congregation as a Sunday School leader.  A year later, she became a Youth Director, continuing to discern and pave her path toward ministry.

While traveling home from the ELCA Youth Gathering in Houston, Texas, in 2018, Tiffany found herself wondering what was next in her ministry life.  That question led her to begin studies at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 2020, preparing her for parish ministry and pastoral care.  She was ordained into the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America on July 22, 2023. 

Pastor Tiffany has a deep passion for walking alongside others in life, faith, and community.  Her approach to ministry is rooted in practical theology - proclaiming grace in everyday language and exploring God's Word through real-life application.  With a background in youth ministry, she values faith formation as a collaborative, intergenerational experience.

In her free time, Pastor Tiffany enjoys watching her kids play sports, reading a good book, going on adventures with friends and her dog, cooking and baking , and baseball

Pastor Tiffany believes the church is a place where all are invited and welcomed, where stories are shared and honored, and where grace is alive and proclaimed.
