Coach Walter Kondratowski
I’m married to Kristin, and together we are raising four lovely daughters. We live deeply embedded in the Amish territory of Lancaster County. Leading up to and during the pandemic, I served at 190-year-old First Presbyterian of Strasburg as a youth minister and four-year-old 938 Church as a worship director, where I caught the vision for church planting. Through partnering with 1001 New Worshiping Communities, my team and I have planted a church called Our Table, which seeks to feed hungry people through a meal, a message, and a mission. As a bi-vocational minister, I continue to serve the Church specializing in worship and production ministries. I’m currently a student at the Rawlings School of Divinity, obtaining my MDiv. I also have a dog I like very much and forgot to mention it until now.
