Emily Hercamp
Interim Secretary
Emily came to Christ Lutheran with her husband, Pastor Hercamp, back in the summer of 2023. Emily was born and grew up in Southwest Michigan, where her family still lives. She was homeschooled by her mom and grew up in a charasmatic church, converting as an adult to confessional Lutheranism. Primarily, Emily is a homemaker and homeschool mom to her four living children: Jacob Ryan, Ella, Joe Henry, and Cassie Jo. She is grateful for the oppotunity she has has to serve Christ Lutheran in this role. Soli Deo gloria
Her Favorite Hymn is "Built on the Rock" LSB 645
1
Built on the Rock the Church shall stand
Even when steeples are falling.
Crumbled have spires in ev'ry land;
Bells still are chiming and calling,
Calling the young and old to rest,
But above all the soul distressed,
Longing for rest everlasting.
5
Grant, then, O God, Your will be done,
That, when the church bells are ringing,
Many in saving faith may come
Where Christ His message is bringing:
"I know MY own; My own know Me.
You, not the world, My face shall see.
My peace I leave with you. Amen."
