Pastor Eric Hiner: Greetings in the name of Christ! I am the pastor at Christ
Lutheran Church and want to take this opportunity to tell you a little
about myself. I an a native of the Fort Worth-Dallas area, calling both
Richardson and Lewisville home during my childhood. I graduated from
Concordia University, Nebraska in 2002 (yes, I am a Cornhusker fan) and
from Concordia Seminary in Missouri in 2007. My wife Heather and I
were married in 2003 and are now blessed with two beautiful daughters -
Kathryn (5) and Lauryn (3). Before coming to Fort Worth, I had the
great privilege to serve as Associate Pastor at St. Paul Lutheran Church
and University Center in Denton for about 3 years. I am proud and excited to be the pastor here at Christ Lutheran.
I feel that the Lord has blessed us with wonderful and unique opportunities to do good ministry in our own backyard and throughout the world.
What I enjoy most through being a pastor at Christ Lutheran is the consistent interaction and relationships I am able to build with so many. In ministry I love connecting people to the radical love of God through preaching, teaching, worship and witness and in any other way which God gives me opportunity. I am here to serve you so please let me know how I can help. |
