Pastor Steve and Linda Carlson

Pastor Steve Carlson and his wife, Linda, felt God's plan for their lives was to enter full-time service upon retiring from teaching.

As well as once educating youth as a physics teacher at Greendale High School in Greendale, Wisconsin, Pastor Steve has served as a worship leader, teacher and elder in several area churches. After his 32-year career as an award-winning physics teacher, Pastor Steve retired to become the associate pastor at East Troy Bible Church.

On June 1, 2007 he was called to be the pastor at Tabernacle Baptist Church. In addition to studying and proclaiming God's Word, Pastor Steve enjoys reading, canoeing and kayaking, hiking, cross-country skiing and traveling.

Linda is retired from teaching biology, chemistry, and AP biology. She still teaches part-time for the Waukesha School district in its environmental education program. Linda enjoys playing the piano and organ and leading the church choir. She also enjoys teaching, biking, canoeing, hiking, cross-country skiing and traveling.

Pastor Steve's Office Hours, when he is not out calling, are Tuesday through Friday, 7 am to 3 pm. Please feel free to make an appointment ahead of time, or just drop in -- ring the doorbell next to the office door.
