Todd Harold Hilkemann
"Pastor Todd"
I grew up in a Christian home in Omaha, Nebraska. During those early years, my Christian life and worldview was largely shaped through a local Presbyterian church. While there I learned to love the Lord, to participate in the life of the local church, and to cherish reformed theology.
I attended college at Wheaton College in Wheaton, IL. During my three plus years a Wheaton I began to understand the true nature of Christian community through living on campus and developing some life-long friendships. I also developed a deeper love for studying God’s word and the academic study of the Bible and theology.
After college I spent time as a teacher, and youth pastor. In 2002 I married Jennifer who is the love of my life and my treasured partner. In early 2003 we traveled to Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary where I received a Masters of Divinity with an emphasis on preaching and missions. In January of 2006 we welcomed Isaiah Robert into the world as the third member of our family.
