Paul began his first day at Immanuel on August 5, 2009.
Paul was welcomed and installed as Immanuel's new intern pastor at the
Saturday August 8th and the
Sunday August 9th services.
I hail from just over the state line, where I grew up in Goshen and
Valparaiso, Indiana. I am a student at the
Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago, where I transferred after a year at
the Lutheran Theological Seminary at
Philadelphia. Before seminary I was a cook at a restaurant in downtown
Valparaiso and spent two years volunteering at
Holden Village, a Lutheran retreat center in the Cascade Mountains of
Washington State. I served there as Food Service Coordinator and Village
Musician/Worship Assistant. I graduated from Valparaiso
University in 2004 with a B.A. in music and a theater minor. In college I sang
in the choir, acted in many theater productions and recorded a CD of original
music.
