Lutheran Church. Pastor Bergemann was installed as the full-time pastor on November 18, 2018.

In 2004, Pastor Bergemann married Amanda Traucht.   They have been blessed with the gift of two children. Ther Bergemann family likes to explore greater Chicago area culture, while also taking in the beauty of nearby lakes, fields and forests. They still welcome recommendations for deep dish pizza and Chicago dogs.

Pastor Bergemann is also excited to be close to one of his favorite getaways . . . the lakes of Northern Wisconsin.  In 1997 he caught the longest musky in the state from one of these lakes.  You might hear the story sometime in conversation (or a sermon or Bible study).
