Reverend Fritz Wehrenberg
Campus Chaplain

What is a Fritz Wehrenberg?

Fritz WeherenbergA mysterious, imaginative concoction God jammed together, bathed in grace; started serving as the Simpson College Chaplain in August, 2009.

A Fritz Wehrenberg has been found graduating from Valparaiso University and Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago and even spotted studying for a doctorate in ministry at Luther Seminary. He has been baked in the oven of experience for 34 years (we are hoping he’s not too overdone): serving congregations in St. Charles, Missouri, Berlin, Germany, and Darien, Illinois. There were two interims in the Chicago area as well. Since August, 1999, Fritz has been involved in campus ministry; eight years at Iowa State University, two years interim campus pastor at the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities, and now Simpson. God has been most gracious!.

Lest you think this all work and no play, you might well find yourself eating a gourmet meal well served, at his hand . . . or a deft hand of cards (bridge is most favored, but any card game) played as partner or opponent . . . or round of golf in the mid-eighties shot, not too intensely . . . or an invite to solve the problems of the world and the riddles of heaven over a cup of tea or coffee. A Fritz Wehrenberg is known to walk into cinemas for all sorts of movies and especially enjoys live theater.

It is reported that a Fritz Wehrenberg finds Simpson College to be warm, welcoming and wondrous. In such experience is the realm of heaven made present; he hopes to extend that experience with you!
