Wayne Hansen
Wayne grew up just outside of Stoughton and he is happy to still be able to call Stoughton home. Wayne attended college at UW-Eau Claire, where he first became a Christ-follower while involved with Campus Crusade for Christ and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. A couple of key mentors in Eau Claire influenced and encouraged Wayne while he grew and stepped into leadership roles in ministry. The encouragement and efforts of these disciple-making-minded men have come full circle, as Wayne desires to be the same kind of disciple-maker that these men were. Wayne has been involved in student ministry, young adult ministry, and small group ministry since he began attending Lakeview in 2002, and he was the interim Director of Student Ministries in the spring and summer of 2010. Currently, Wayne is a consultant in the healthcare information technology field. Wayne’s wife, Marissa also grew up in Stoughton and attended UW-Eau Claire; however, it wasn’t until they both moved back to Stoughton and began attending LakeView that they became friends. They later fell in love, were married, and now have a daughter named Maren. They are also excitedly expecting their second child this spring. In addition to motherhood, Marissa enjoys participating in or directing dramas, and co-leading a Lifegroup with Wayne. Marissa is currently a school counselor at Evansville High School.
