Pastor Amy Penza

Hello everyone!!!! My name is Amy Penza! In my time here at the Holden Lutheran Churches, I have come to find a family, centered on the Word of God. I consider myself extremely blessed to have had the opportunity to serve in these two wonderful churches since November 2022.  As of May 2023, I graduated from Wartburg Theological Seminary and was ordained August 18, 2024. I have learned so much during this intentional time as Vicar, and am officially stepping into the role of pastor along side my beloved Holden Lutheran church family. In my personal life, my husband John and I have three boys-- Xavier (17), Dimitri (15), and Edison (11) who are non-stop with every sport you can think of as well as a long list of other hobbies that keep us busy. We also have lots of pets that fight for our attention! My family and I are very grateful to be here and look forward to serving in this community for, Lord willing, many years to come! If you have not had the opportunity to stop by, please feel free to come anytime, I would love to meet you!! God is good!!
