Posted 12/6/2022

 
Picture
​The Diocese of Fond du Lac is hiring a Human Resources Manager to provide human resources support for clergy and lay employees of diocesan congregations in compensation and benefits. This is a salaried part-time position.
 
The manager will administer insurance (medical, dental, short- and long-term disability, group term life) and pension (defined benefit, defined contribution and voluntary contribution) benefits through the Church Pension Group. The manager will handle hiring processes for clergy and lay employees and conduct orientation. Assistance is also provided to congregations and clergy in transition from active service to retirement. Complete details are provided in the position description.
 
To apply, submit a cover letter of interest with resume by December 31, 2022 to mpayne@diofdl.org. All submissions will be acknowledged. Questions are to be directed to Matthew Payne at (920) 830-8866.

Diocesan Office Staff Changes Announced

Posted 12/5/2022

 
Diocesan Office
​During a December meeting of the Board of Trustees, The Rt. Rev. Matt Gunter, Bishop of Fond du Lac, announced a plan to reorganize the diocesan staff effective January 1, 2023. “The catalyst to change,” Gunter remarked, “was a request of our current Lay Canon of Administration, Matthew Payne, to move into a half-time position to allow him time to follow other interests.” Payne has worked for the diocese for 23. Gunter shared his “appreciation of Matthew’s desire to continue to serve the diocese, especially as we consider possible reunion with the other Episcopal dioceses of Wisconsin.”

Three new positions will be initiated, and the current ones phased out. An Office Administrator will serve as advisor to the bishop and leadership in areas of administration, events, information management and communication. Current administrative assistant Lisa Baltes has been offered this full-time, executive level position and has accepted. A Business Administrator will serve as advisor to the bishop and leadership in areas of finance, property, and business procedure. Payne has been offered this half-time position and accepted. In addition, Payne has agreed to serve as transition consultant during the change period.

A Human Resources Manager is to be hired, who will provide human resources support for clergy and lay employees of the diocese and congregations in the areas of compensation and benefits. This quarter-time position will be advertised within the diocese. The expectation is the position will be filled by the end of January. Anyone interested in applying should click here.

Clergy and lay leaders may be speaking with different people in in different areas, but little disruption in regular diocesan operations is anticipated. The changes are within the adopted budget and provide a benefit of expanding knowledge and procedures among additional people.

Lisa Baltes begins at the Diocesan Office on September 4.
​The Diocese of Fond du Lac, the Episcopal Church in northeast Wisconsin, is pleased to announce the addition of Lisa Baltes to its staff as Administrative Assistant. Baltes will support the administrative, information management and financial functions of the Diocesan Office which supports the work of the bishop and assists clergy and lay leaders of Episcopal congregations. This part-time position has regular office hours Monday through Wednesday.
 
“We are looking forward to Lisa coming on board,” Bishop Matt Gunter shared. “She has shown herself to be hospitable, resourceful, organized, and has a working knowledge of the church.” Baltes was hired after a search process following retirement of the former Diocesan Office Secretary. The position is designed to divide regular workflow more efficiently among the diocesan staff.
 
Baltes brings two decades of quality experience in customer service and project coordination in the health care industry to the position. A United States naval veteran, she holds a BLS from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. An active member in the Presbyterian Church, she has served as an elected Elder on the church board. She and her husband Rick live near Omro and have two adult children.

Bishop Matt Gunter is both disheartened and delighted and to announce Vicky Stauber-Pufall's retirement with her last day being May 31, 2018. Vicky has served the diocese as Diocesan Office Secretary for over 11 years, contributing her gifts of hospitality and servanthood. Vicky said she approached the position "as a called ministry of Christ Jesus my Lord and Savior, and not simply a job." She plans to spend more time with her family both in Wisconsin and the Duluth, MN area.

"We will keep Vicky in our prayers." Bishop Gunter shared, "and wish her health and happiness as she enters this next chapter in her life." Those who have appreciated Vicky's service are invited to contribute to a retirement purse, facilitated through the Diocesan Office. A check may be sent with "Retirement" in the memo or your gift may be made electronically.
