AllishA Haertl
Children’s Ministry Coordinator
Allisha Haertl moved to Oshkosh and began attending Living Stone after marrying her husband Zach in 2023. Zach is an Oshkosh native and had become a member at Living Stone a few years before he and Allisha met. Allisha has loved serving children her entire life—starting with babysitting, nursery at church, and mission trips, then moving on to working as a pediatric nurse for 5 years. She has her master’s degree in family practice nursing and intended on getting a job in this field after getting married. However, God had greater plans! Allisha began serving at Living Stone by filling in for Ali Maleski after she had one of her babies, then moved into serving with both children’s class and nursery. She is excited to take on the role of Children’s Ministry Coordinator and be able to share Jesus’ love with all the little ones at Living Stone. Allisha and Zach welcomed their daughter Lucille to their family in April of 2025!
