Pastor David Hein grew up in Milwaukee, where he attended Mt. Lebanon Lutheran Church and School. After eight years on campus in Watertown, he graduated from Northwestern Prep & College in 1976, and then from Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in 1980. His first call as pastor was to Grace-Crivitz and St. Matthew’s-Pound in northeastern Wisconsin.
Over the years, he has also served St. John’s-Rock Springs and Faith-Reedsburg, WI; St. Matthew’s-Oconomowoc; and Mt. Lebanon in Milwaukee. For the past five years, he shepherded God’s people at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Mandan, North Dakota.
Pastor Hein’s wife Rebecca (Becky) is from Trinity Lutheran Church in Watertown. After graduating in 1976 from Dr. Martin Luther College in New Ulm, MN, Becky taught at St. Paul’s Lutheran School in Stevensville, MI. After marrying David in 1977, she taught at a number of our Lutheran schools in Wisconsin. She also earned her Wisconsin State Teacher’s license and served as a student teacher supervisor before moving to North Dakota, where she earned her ND state license as well.
The Lord blessed David and Becky with three children. Oldest son Paul is a martial arts instructor in Fox Point. Daughter Sara lives in Middleton with her husband Benjamin Wink and their daughter Carlotta. Son Greg is in his second year at our seminary and lives in Menomonee Falls with his new bride Julie (nee Jabs).
Pastor Hein’s parents, Randy and Joyce Hein, have been members here at St. Paul’s since 1992 and recently moved to The Gardens in Hartford.
Pastor Dave and Becky are very excited about their move to Slinger and the opportunities the Lord is giving to serve him at St. Paul’s! May the Lord bless us as we work together to the benefit of his people and to the glory of his name!
