Greg Stultz
Bookkeeper
Let me introduce myself. I am Greg Stultz the current Bookkeeper for FELC.
My background in the accounting field comes from being the Business Manager for Morrison Knudsen, what used to be a worldwide construction firm headquartered in Boise, Id. And yes, I was able to go around the world with them on numerous construction jobs. What a great way to see the world. When we moved here in 1993 I worked for MK at the site as an auditor. We decided to stay put and I continued to work for the various contractors . I retired after working at the INL for 18 years.
For fun for the past 20 years I have been running up and down the football field as a Football Official and have been involved in Babe Ruth and American Legion Baseball. I enjoy working with the kids participating in sports.

Michelle Hanson
Music Director
Hi! I’m Michelle Hanson. I am the chairman of the Worship & Music Team, the worship accompanist, and one of the choir directors here at FELC.
My earliest memories are of sitting on a little wooden bench in the Parish Hall at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Hampton, Iowa singing praises to God during Sunday School. Music became a huge part of my life: I started taking piano lessons in 3rd grade and playing the saxophone in 5th grade. I went on to study music education at the University of Northern Iowa and was a Jr./Sr. High band director for 5 years after graduation.
I first came to Idaho to work for the Forest Service in Ketchum for the summer. I met Greg along the way that summer. We relocated to South Dakota for a couple years shortly after we were married. When Greg transferred to Idaho Falls in 1999, we were fortunate to find a wonderful church family here at FELC. I can’t imagine a better place to raise our family.
