My name is Pastor Brett Hartwig and I have been the pastor here at Trinity since 2013.  I grew up in Vicksburg, Michigan and attended Concordia University St. Paul. Right out of college I was a Lutheran school teacher for 5 years before going to the seminary. I served as the Jr. High History teacher for 4 years at Baton Rouge Lutheran School and 1 year as the 5th/6th grade teacher at the Lutheran Academy in Allentown, Pennsylvania.  I then went to Concordia Seminary in St. Louis where I received my call to shepherd the people here at Trinity. I love spending time outside, hiking and biking with my family and also playing golf and tennis. I am a huge NDSU fan and Green Bay Packer fan, I guess you could say I bleed green and gold!  One of my favorite Bible verses is Psalm 46:1, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”  This verse reminds me that God is always present in my life, whether in good times and bad times and is always there to give strength and support whenever I need it.  The one thing I love about Trinity is our family atmosphere.  We are one big family that is always there for each other through the ups and downs of life sharing the love of Christ with each other.

My name is Paige Schmidt and I am the Office Manager here at Trinity Lutheran Church. I grew up here in Sabin, MN and have always lived here. I attended college at NDSCS in Wahpeton and got my Pharmacy Technician Associates degree. I was a Pharmacy Technician for six years. I went back to school at Rasmussen College online while still working full time and received my Early Childhood Education Bachelor’s degree. I then had my daughter and decided to be a stay at home mom. I was only home a few short months with her until I received the opportunity to start working part time here at Trinity Lutheran Church. I am also the treasurer and secretary for the Sabin-Elmwood Fire Department as well as a substitute teacher for Barnesville and Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton Public Schools. Outside of work I love to spend time with my family and travel.
