Tom Eggebrecht

HELLO, THERE!

I am the Senior Pastor of Ascension Lutheran Church in Casselberry, Florida. I am also a frequent blogger (www.tomeggebrecht.com) and an active writer, having just published the book, Fully and Creatively Alive, available now on Amazon. I enjoy speaking and teaching on various topics like creativity, leadership, and entrepreneurship.

I have been a pastor for twenty-five years, and am enjoying ministry in central Florida, where Disney is just down the street and the beach is a short jaunt away. Four worship and sermon series' that I have written have been published by Creative Communications for the Parish.

As adjunct Professor of Theology at Concordia University -- Wisconsin for thirteen years, I taught classes on the Old Testament, the books of Genesis and Psalms, various classes on Lutheran Theology, The Bible, and The Life of Christ. One of the highlights of each year was teaching a three-week class on Comparative Religions. It was my pleasure to serve as an adjunct professor from 1999 through 2011.

I love my wife, Tammy, and enjoy time together with her dining out, biking, or going to Disney for a day or an evening. Our daughter, Ashlyn, is a graduate of Nebraska Wesleyan University in Lincoln, NE, with a B.F.A. in Theatre Arts, works for Sea World, Orlando, and is married to Josh Swenson. Our son, Benjamin, is a singer-songwriter and a graduate of Belmont University in Nashville, TN, with a B.A. in Entertainment Industry Studies.He recently got engaged to Emily Howard, and they will be married in October of 2016. Ben is currently recording music as "My Red and Blue," that you can find on Apple Music or Spotify. I enjoy travel, writing, music, biking, going to U2 concerts, reading, golfing, traveling, the Milwaukee Brewers, and the (World Champion) Green Bay Packers.
