Pastor Amy Eisenmann
​Lead Pastor

My name is Pastor Amy Eisenmann and I have been on staff at Bethlehem since January 2020.  My last call was in Thompson, North Dakota where I served at Saint Matthew's Lutheran Church for almost 8 years. My current focus here at Bethlehem is strengthening our relationships with God and with our community.  I appreciate working with all age groups, and love the intergenerational happenings we do here.  My immediate family is my Cavachon puppy Adalee who keeps me very busy!  The rest of my family lives up in the Twin Cities.  I have one brother who has four kids, and spending time with my nieces and nephews is my favorite thing to do.  I am super excited to have one of them now going to Drake and one of them at Iowa State!  I also enjoy playing guitar, writing poetry, reading, and sharing a cup of coffee or tea with friends.  I would love to know what you love to do, and hear about your family.  Let's set up a time to get together for coffee or just to get to know each other better!
