Hello, my name is Brian Weinberger, and I am the pastor at Bethlehem Lutheran Church.
I am still fairly new to my call in Mesa so I thought I would reach out to the community to introduce myself. I am married and have two wonderful daughters. My wife and I met in college and were married while I was in seminary (training to become a pastor). Our oldest daughter is in fourth grade and our youngest daughter will be in kindergarten next year.
The whole family loves music, musicals, all things Disney, and visiting the Phoenix Zoo and the OdySea Aquarium. We love to play board games and play with our dog and cats. We recently got some fish and enjoy caring for them as well.
I am nowhere near as good as our gardeners at the church, but I do enjoy the small garden at our home and have just started tinkering around with house plants. I am really enjoying Mesa and learning all about the diverse people who live here. My wife grew up in Mesa so she is glad to be back home, and has been a big help in teaching me all about the Valley and the beautiful state of Arizona.
I have been in ministry for 14 years now and I am honored to serve Bethlehem as their pastor. Our congregation is located at 2745 N. 32nd St. in Mesa and we worship at 9 a.m. on Sundays. We are a community of caring church members, Noah’s Ark Preschool and Kindergarten, and the Harvest of Hope Community Garden. With all of our ministries, we do our best to live out the mission of the Gospel and the mission of our church: To be a home to share God’s Love and Grace.
I would love to share even more about myself, my family, and our church with you. If you would like to learn more, please reach out and I would be happy to have a conversation by phone or over a hot beverage.
Thank you for allowing me this space to share a bit about myself and our congregation. God’s Blessings.
