"Resiliency Training In Christ"
Shawn Herkstroeter
Shawn Herkstroeter has over 25 years of WELS school ministry experience. He graduated from Martin Luther College in 1996, earned a Masters in Education from the University of Wisconsin-Stout in 2004, and completed the School of Professional Life Coaching program through Light University in 2021. He enjoys making an impact for our synod on a larger scale such as 12 years of service on the Commission on Lutheran Schools and serving on the program committee for the 2022 WELS National School Leadership Conference. He is committed to personal wellness and believes that spiritual, emotional, and physical health is the foundation for every effective leader. He currently serves as principal at Faith Lutheran and as a part time leadership coach and presenter with Grace in Action. Outside of ministry, Shawn loves spending time with family, coaching basketball, working out, hiking, bow hunting, and pheasant hunting with his German Shorthaired Pointer, Bella.
