Now for some detail of Pastor Wolff's resume: His accounting job was with Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co. The banks that employed him as an executive were in Cincinnati, Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Peoria, Illinois. The orchestra organizations he managed were the Alabama Symphony, in Birmingham, and the Charleston Symphony.
"As I look back on my life's journey, I sense that there was much guidance from God," Pastor Wolff said. "Many times I probably took a wrong turn but God kept moving me for his purpose. The call became very obvious on Sunday, March 8, 1992. I was worshiping and in the midst of the service, this thought entered my head: 'Go to the seminary.' It was the farthest thing from my regular thought process. There was much rapid discernment afterward. I enrolled in the seminary and began my studies in the summer of that year.
As far as the symphony career is concerned, I was active as a volunteer with the Peoria Symphony Orchestra. I was treasurer, president, and fund drive chairperson in my six year's on the board. When I was looking at options for a career change, the music director suggested I examine symphony management as a possibility.
"I have no doubt that God has been guiding my life. Unfortunately for me, I didn't realize it much of the time." Each of the career changes in my life was a learning experience that assisted me in my life's journey. Fortunately, I finally became aware of what God wanted me to really do when I grew up!"
