Frederick Stegemann

Dear Frank and Family,
I was sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. By reading this guest book, I see where he has touched many lives over the years. I lost my Dad this year too, and wanted you know my sympathies are with you and your family.

Dear Stegemann Family;

Pastor Fritz married Pam and I in 1979 and our son David Frederick is named for him. Fritz was a master at making the Word of God come alive for us in the "now"... May the Lord comfort you in your loss. He was a man among me and taught me that tears are not something to be held back.

Dear Fran and Family;
We were stunned when we heard of Pastor Fritz's passing. Our condolences to you and your family. He helped us grow so much and the school was wonderful for our kids. The radio program, just everything that the Lord was able to do through Pastor was a marvel and a wonder to us. I will always remember his love of the "ole lighthouse" song and how it made tears come to his eyes. We will miss him but I know we will see him again in heaven. May our Lord Jesus bless and...

Fritz was a wonderful person to me. He was always there for me even when I didn't realize I needed him. Even when I gave up on myself he never gave up on me. He always found the words of encouragement and the power of prayer to get me through it. After so many years of my life being in an uproar I am so thankful I was able to share last Thanksgiving with him and let him see that I had finally gotten my life together. We shed some tears of joy, prayed. I will never forget how he never...

Fran, Frank, Gus, John, and Carol...as you know, dad was an instrument to so many over so many years. After 32 years, he is still my pastor. There will always be a love in my heart for him. Many memories I will cherish forever. From his spiritual guidance as a teen to my employment at the church to my personal time with him at the alter and in his home. He was a instrument to me in my life which has made me a better person. Thank you Fritz! Thanks Fran and everyone else for sharing him...

Dear Fran & family,
There has been a lot of living since the mid '70s...when we were there with the 'family'of God'. We moved north in 1980. We have prayed for ya'll thru the years. I remember the old barn and the wonderful services praising the Lord, healings, going together on womens' retreats & the radio talk show. Pastor Fritz always spread the love of the Lord to everyone. Then, trusting the lord for the Theatre & with God's grace & our faith it happened! :-) Pastor Fritz was an...

Sis. Fran and the rest of the family,

My heartfelt sympathies on your loss of one of my spiritual father's and mentors.
10 years in ministry with him seemed like an eternity and seems like an eternity ago.
I'll never forget the time he asked me to minister at ODC one Sunday, and I stayed for the next 10 years ... or the time he pulled me aside and asked me to lead worship for one Sunday that turned into 3 services every Sunday for 6 years ... or the time I offered to...

For the past 5 years Fritz has been looking out for me, always seeming to know when I needed a hand. I now have a guardian angel. You will be missed! Much peace and love! Andie
