About Lisa Zahner

My name is Lisa Zahner and I live in central MN with my husband of 26 years.   We have two grown children, ages 23 and 19.  My son is a personal trainer and a strongman athlete and is currently Minnesota’s Strongest Man!  My daughter is attending bible college where she played volleyball this year and is pursuing a degree in Worship Ministry.  I am personally very active in worship and student ministry in my home church.  I have been gifted with strong spiritual discernment and bold faith. 

I am beyond blessed to be part of the new Church Solutions Partner team here at Lifeway where I get the awesome privilege to serve the church and help spread the gospel of Jesus Christ!  In the past, Lifeway had church partners that built relationships with pastors.  With the event of the Pandemic, changes had to be made to that department.  This is a rebirth of that initiative, but with a more structured focus on helping to find, equip, implement, and create resources to help you thrive in ministry.  We are building this team and everything that we are doing as we go.  There are still many things that we are learning and discovering that will lead us to be the best partners we can be.  Initially we are just listening.  We want to hear what you need, how things are going, where you are growing and where your pain points are.  As we progress, we will be working to help you to find the right tools and resources for your ministries.  This includes bible study resources, Sunday school curriculum, VBS and camp events, as well as training resources, bibles, books, devotionals, and church supplies.

Within our resources, we have pretty much everything that you need to grow and flourish.  We have training materials and things to equip lay-leaders, and pastors alike. We will continue to have the best ongoing curriculum such as The Gospel Project, Bible Studies for Life, and Explore the Bible.  We will continue to innovate for the church of today with state-of-the-art curriculum like our brand new, next gen resource, hyfi. 

I am very blessed and excited to be part of this ministry and am excited to get to know you all!  I am reachable by phone or text at 612-799-4572, or email at Lisa.Zahner@lifeway.com.

I will be praying for you all and I am anxious to get to know many of you in 2024!
