meet the pastor

Pastor Paul Krueger, his wife Heather, and their two sons Amos and Maxwell, moved to Idaho Falls from Milwaukee at the end of January 2024. Over the past year, they have enjoyed getting to explore the foothills and rivers in Idaho, as well as attending community events in their new home.

Paul grew up in Michigan, got his Bachelor’s degree at Martin Luther College in New Ulm, MN and graduated from the Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in 2015 with a Masters in Divinity.

His first assignment into ministry was to Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church in Winchester, VA. In 2019, accepted a Call to be the school pastor at Mount Lebanon Lutheran Church and School in Milwaukee, WI. In 2023, he received the call to come plant a new mission church in the Idaho Falls area.

Paul loves hiking, fishing, and getting to know new people. “I especially look forward to sitting down with people to talk about what God has to say to us in His Word. I’m always more than happy to sit down and talk and pray with anyone about whatever’s on your mind. The coffee’s on me!”
