On July 16, the Reverend Jacob Hercamp was installed as Pastor at Christ Lutheran Church, Noblesville.
Hercamp is a graduate of Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne (CTSFW), receiving both his Master of Divinity (M.Div, 2016) and Master of Sacred Theology (STM, 2017). Prior to his call to Christ Lutheran Church, Noblesville, he served St. Peter Lutheran Church, La Grange, Mo., for nearly six years.
Hercamp grew up in northern Jackson County, Ind., attending Indiana University before Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne (CTSFW). While at seminary, he had the opportunity to study abroad at Westfield House (The House of Theological Studies for the Evangelical Lutheran Church of England), Cambridge, England. After returning from Cambridge, he married Emily. They have been married for nine years, and the Lord has blessed them with three children.
Because of his love of theology, Hercamp is pursuing a PhD in Old Testament through Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (MBTS), Kansas City.
Pastor Hercamp enjoys teaching and preaching the Word of Christ, trusting that the Spirit will work as He has promised to do, creating faith in Christ Jesus in the hearer (Rom 10:17). In his spare time, he enjoys taking advantage of the outdoors through hunting and fishing. He is also very excited to be back in “B1G Country” so he can watch and hear the games of his beloved Indiana Hoosiers.
