Sue Stranahan joined the pastoral staff of The Village Church in 2002 as the Minister of Spiritual Care. She is a board certified chaplain and oversees the chaplaincy program for residents in the assisted living and skilled nursing facilities at Shell Point Retirement Community.

Sue was born and reared in Western Pennsylvania. She became a follower of Jesus Christ through the ministry of Youth for Christ in her local high school. A graduate of Toccoa Falls College, she served as a missionary nurse for seventeen years in the Democratic Republic of Congo where she developed rural health programs and educated nurses and pastors. After completing doctoral studies in Public Health at the University of Pittsburgh, she served for fifteen years as professor of nursing and chair of the Division of Nursing at Indiana Wesleyan University.

Accompanying older adults on their spiritual journey has been one of the most rewarding ministries of her career. Sue is particularly interested in the spiritual dimension of persons with Alzheimer’s and related dementias and spiritual care at the end of life.
