Rev. Daniel J. Hartwig has served as Trinity’s pastor since 2020. He was born and raised in the farm country near Manitowoc, Wisconsin. He came to Trinity with over a decade of ministry experience, having previously served as a pastor at congregations in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. He earned his B.A. from Bethany Lutheran College and his M.Div. degree from Bethany Lutheran Theological Seminary. During his pastoral ministry he also earned a Ph.D. in theological studies through the Graduate Theological Foundation.

He is married to Sarah and they have four children. Besides spending time with his family, he enjoys writing hymn verses and editing music for worship, the occasional woodworking project, and he has a well-known sweet tooth–especially for Skittles. 

His favorite Bible verse is Romans 8:1, “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”
