Andrew Lisi

Andrew is from Santa Fe, NM, Bergenfield, NJ, and Sanford, FL – each place marking moments of God’s work in his life. He graduated from the University of Florida in 2004. In 2008, he moved to Chicago to attend TEDS, where he graduated with his MDiv in 2011. He was a pastor in Seattle until 2014, at which time he left full-time ministry. He is now a financial planner and partner at his firm, The Next Level Planning Group.

Andrew started following Jesus in August of 1994, after six difficult months during which his mom had a near-fatal stroke from a brain aneurysm and he moved around a lot, eventually landing in Florida. A woman at a vacation Bible school faithfully shared the Gospel with him and the Spirit took hold of his life. Andrew met his wife, Stacy, in 2011. They’ve been married for 10 years and have four children, Asher (8), Sofia (6), Emmett (5), and Eva (3).

Andrew and his family started attending The Orchard in 2020 when they moved to Arlington Heights. They became members shortly after. Andrew serves in Awana and Stacy serves in Children’s Ministries. They are also launching a LIFE Group and Andrew has had the opportunity to teach on biblical stewardship to LIFE Group leaders at the Northfield congregation
