Hi, my name is Kirk Schield. I’ve been the full time pastor here at Christ Lutheran Church since 2023.

I grew up in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, where I was a machinist before going to Seminary at age 40. I am the father of 4 grown children. My first wife went to heaven in 2014. I worked as a machinist again after she died and began serving here part time in 2017. I met Jill Lekatz, who is also widowed in 2020. We understood that time can be short so we were married on October 3, 2021.

I really enjoy spending time with my wife, my children and grandchildren. I also like auto repair, and Waverunner riding and repair.

But most of all, I enjoy serving the people here at Christ Lutheran and telling people about God’s love for them in Jesus!
