Matthew Krenke

Pastor

Pastor Krenke was assigned straight out of the Seminary to St. Peter’s Lutheran Church, Milwaukee, WI, serving the bilingual group there until 2007. Then the family moved to Zion Lutheran Church, Valentine, NE. In 2014, they moved to serve St. John’s Lutheran Church, Jefferson, WI, until December 2022. They spent one year at Mount Olive Lutheran Church, in Las Vegas, NV, and are now so very pleased to be here in Appleton. Matt is excited to see what the Lord has in store for Bethany Lutheran Church, Our Shepherd Childcare, and for all of us.

He enjoys cooking, movies, reading, fishing and travel, and just spending time with family and friends. He and Suzy and family enjoy hiking, time in the outdoors in general, skiing, soccer, and of course Packers football, among other things.
