Pastor Scott Martz

e-mail: pastor@lambofGod-WELS.com

Hi, I'm Scott Martz and I'm the pastor of Lamb of God Lutheran. I have the honor of leading people into the truths of God's Word through teaching and preaching.

BASIC STUFF: My wife Heidi, children Andrew, Rachel, and Adam, and I moved here in late 2000 having served a WELS church in Albuquerque, NM. Heidi and I have been married 17 years. Our children are each a blessing from God. They seem to have their mother's musical talent (perfect pitch) and my talent for being a bit cluttered. We understand the challenges and blessings of parenting.

BIRTH DATE: October 5, 1965 in Livingston, MT.

EDUCATION: I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Northwestern College in Watertown, WI and a Master of Divinity degree from Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary. I have been in the pastoral ministry for 14 years.
