The Rev. Dr. Scott Stoner is the creator of the Living Compass Faith and Wellness Ministry. This comprehensive, parish-based wellness ministry provides a wide range of educational and small-group resources for adults, teens, parents, and congregations.
Scott and his wife, Holly Hughes Stoner, are marriage and family therapists. Together, they co-direct the Wellness Compass Initiative, which provides training and resources for non-profit leaders around the country. They are collaborating with the University of Wisconsin-Madison in developing a new peer-based student wellness coaching program. This work, along with Living Compass, is made possible by a generous gift from Ab and Nancy Nicholas.
Scott’s ministry has also had a special focus on clergy and clergy family wellness.
Scott’s book, Your Living Compass: Living Well in Thought, Word, and Deed, published by Church publishing in 2014, has been widely endorsed by leaders across the church.
