Pastor Stanley Stiver is a
veteran of over 50 years of ministry in the Catawba Valley ALONE! Serving for nine years as our Visitation Pastor, he inspired our frequent Midweek Noonday Worship series, visited our
shut-ins and checked on all of us with compassion and concern.
Pastor Stiver stepped down as our official care-giver at the end of November. He's still in our prayers and in our hearts and often, we hope, will be in our midst. Watch for him at St Andrew's and anywhere else the ministry might be happening! Famous for his extraordinary collection of crosses and the wisdom he shares through them, Pastor Stiver is the subject of a fascinating website developed by his son, Click here to visit the site: Cross Crucifix
