Pastor Paul Hirsch

Pastor Paul Hirsch here, I was born in March 1963 here in Norfolk, NE, where my father was teaching at St. Paul’s Lutheran School. With roots in Nebraska, I am thrilled to be serving here and am a huge Huskers fan, GBR! I grew up in New Ulm, MN and Prairie Du Chien, WI where I graduated from Martin Luther Preparatory School in 1981 and then attended Northwestern College in Watertown, WI, graduating in 1985. I am a 1990 graduate of Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in Mequon, WI and have served at Northwestern Preparatory School in Watertown, WI; St. John’s Lutheran Church in Markesan, WI; Redeemer Lutheran Church in Hastings, NE; and St. John’s Lutheran Church in Juneau, WI. I was blessed to marry my wife, Jodi, in 1994 and we have three daughters: Meryl, Lauren, and Carly.
