Pete Panitzke

Ministerial Team Leader

Office: 414-422-0320, ext. 122

Pastor Pete serves as our Ministerial Team Leader. He works closely with our Church Administrator Randy Fink and our School Administrator Seth Fitzsimmons to keep our staff and congregation focused on our mission:By every possible means we bring every person within our area of influence closer to Christ. He serves as the primary teaching pastor and leads our efforts to grow in mission involvement, generosity, and small group ministry. A statement that came from a study of Strength Finders describes him well: “I am built to see patterns in the past and present that lead to new ideas for the future of God’s family.” He is a person who enjoys thinking out loud, so you will often find him talking about new ministry opportunities for St. Paul’s.

Pastor Pete is married to Joni. They have four children and ten grandchildren. They enjoy traveling, seeing God’s creation and understanding God’s people throughout our country and the world.
