Pastor Micah J. Wildauer Pastor Micah Wildauer was born in Bremen, Indiana, to Charles and Cheryl Wildauer. He was baptized at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Bremen on May 13, 1979. Being the son of Lutheran school teachers, he enjoyed living in various places through the years, namely Springfield, Illinois; Sandy, Utah; and Allen Texas. After graduating from Salt Lake Lutheran High School, he studied Behavioral Sciences and received a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Concordia University in Austin, Texas. Upon completion of his studies in Austin, he entered Concordia Theological Seminary, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. His vicarage year (the third year) was spent serving two parishes in McMinnville and Cookeville, Tennessee. He spent most of his time with Shepherd of the Hills in McMinnville, helping the congregation grow through evangelism and outreach. Pastor was ordained on July 23, 2006, at St Paul's in Bremen. This congregation of his Baptism was also his field work congregation while at the seminary. Pastor Wildauer has two older brothers, who reside in the Salt Lake City area. Matthew, the oldest, is a graduate of Marquette University and is a Civil Engineer. His brother Andrew, who works with various car dealers in the area of finance, is married and has a baby daughter. While growing up, Pastor took a keen interest in sports. He is an avid Notre Dame fan and enjoys college basketball, especially the Big Ten. Having a father from Detroit, he has become a Tigers, Pistons, Lions and Red Wings fan, but there is hope. He has a Green Bay Packers cap in his church office at Bethlehem. Pastor Wildauer was installed as Pastor for the dual parishes of Bethlehem Lutheran Church, on 24th Place and McKinley Avenue, and Hope Lutheran Church on 35th and Highland Avenue, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on August 13, 2006. Everyone knows that Wisconsin doesn't have spring weather at this time of the year, but Pastor has caught a robin. Pastor Micah Wildauer and Robin Bonar, who is in her last year at Northwest Missouri State University, have recently become engaged. Many of us know Robin, as she was one the the dedicated volunteers who helped Bethlehem with Vacation Bible Camp last sumer. It is heard that there will be wedding bells in June.
