Chris Welztin grew up in a Christian household in Muskego, WI. Chris met his wife, Stephanie, while he was attending Oak Creek Assemblies of God Church, now Discover Church, and serving in various ministries. Chris is currently working his way through the finance world to become a wealth banker with U.S. Bank. Chris and Stephanie have two daughters: Madelyn and Liliana. Chris felt the call to plant a church very early on in his Christian walk, and when he met Fred at Mercy Hill, the kindred spirits became fast friends and eventually were able to plant Redemption Way Church, now Redeeming Grace Church.
