Rene Schlaepfer

Rene SchlaepferRene and his wife Laurie are the proud (and sometimes exhausted) parents of three kids, Jonathan (16), Elisabeth (14) and David (7). Rene grew up just over the hill near Los Gatos, but have lived in Switzerland, Portland, Colorado, San Diego, and Lake Tahoe.

Before becoming a pastor, he worked for several years in the broadcast industry, starting as a young teenager in local television and radio. Eventually armed with a degree in Broadcasting and Journalism, he worked at radio stations and production companies as what they call an "air personality" and "voice-over talent" (everyone else calls them "deejays") until he was 32.

In his twenties, while working at a Top 40 radio station in Portland, he attended Western Seminary and received an M.A. in Theology. While he still insists that his graduate studies were just for personal enrichment, God had other plans. He was soon called to be a youth pastor at a church in San Diego and it was there he fell in love with the ministry. A pastorate at Sierra Community Church in Lake Tahoe followed; while there, he also worked as a morning drive air personality at a Contemporary Christian Radio network. Then in 1993, Rene was asked to become pastor at Twin Lakes Church.

One little-known fact: Born to Swiss parents, Rene has dual citizenship in both the US and Switzerland.

Renee Schlaepfer will be addressing the BASS Convention at 9:30 am on Saturday, March 8 at Redwood Chapel Community Church in Castro Valley.
