In 2004, he graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, double majoring in history and secondary education. After two more years of studying Classical Greek and Biblical Hebrew at UW-Madison, he enrolled at Bethany Lutheran Theological Seminary in Mankato, MN, and graduated with a Master of Divinity in 2012. His final year was spent interning at a dual parish in Sonoma County, California. Upon completion of his vicarage, he served a temporary situation caring for the flock of Our Redeemer Lutheran in Brisbane, QLD, Australia before flying back to the States where he was ordained at Peace Lutheran Church of Lakeland, FL on August 26, 2012. Since his ordination, Pastor Heyn has served congregations in Florida and Ohio,, and as a home missionary in San Angelo Texas. While in San Angelo, he also served as a military contact pastor for Goodfellow AFB. In addition to serving as pastor at Christ the King, Pastor Heyn currently serves as the secretary for the ELS Board on Apologetics.
Pastor Heyn met his wife Andrea in Lakeland, Florida and what began as a mutual love for the Packers led to a dating relationship. They were married on May 10, 2014. They have been blessed with three daughters and a son.
Pastor enjoys hanging out with his family, as well as running (amongst other outdoor sports), music (listening and playing), and cheering on his WI sports teams: the Packers, Brewers, and Badgers. He and Andrea are proud Packer owners.
He and his family consider it a privilege to serve at Christ the King and are excited to share the message of God’s love and forgiveness with the people of Howard/Green Bay.
