Rev. Kevin Bueltmann, Executive Director Kevin@ShepherdsCanyon.org 480-588-8837 ​Rev. Kevin Bueltmann has served as a pastor, Director of Christian Education, camp director, and worship leader in LCMS churches and camps in Montana, Nebraska, and Illinois, and now serves as Executive Director of Shepherd’s Canyon, an LCMS Recognized Service Organization based in Arizona and Missouri that provides week-long counseling retreats for ministry workers and spouses facing burnout, stress, grief, compassion fatigue, conflict, transitions, or sabbatical needs. Kevin and his wife, Tawn, first experienced Shepherd’s Canyon personally in February 2021 when Kevin was burned out and ready to leave ministry after carrying heavy responsibilities during COVID, giving them a deep appreciation for the healing and renewal God provides through this ministry. Kevin has a lifelong passion for music and has led thousands of children, youth, and adults in singing praise to God with his guitar. He has written many songs that are used in churches and children's ministries around the world. Kevin and Tawn love spending time with their four children and other family members living throughout the Midwest and beyond.
