Pastor Erick Swanson was called as pastor to St. Paul Lutheran Church. His first Sunday was December 1, 2024. He appreciates the vibrant, Christ-centered ministries of St. Paul, the welcoming people, and the community of Winterset. St. Paul, he says, is a beautiful faith community where you can get to know everyone on a first-name basis, while being large enough to have a rich variety of ministries and activities. He especially enjoys leading worship, Confirmation ministry, choir, and fellowship times. 

Pastor Erick is married to Kristi. Together they have three adult sons and five exciting grandchildren. He grew up in Des Moines and then Bettendorf, graduated from the University of Iowa, and worked in industry for fourteen years. He then attended Wartburg Theological Seminary in Dubuque, graduating in 2005.  He previously served congregations in Huxley, Maquoketa, Burlington, Preston and Sabula.
