Meet Our Interim Pastor

Pastor Wes Hamlin is Tree of Life's Interim Pastor. Pastor Hamlin retired from parish ministry in Upstate New York and he and his wife, Cynthia, moved to Camden, DE. The Hamlin's have two adult children and three grandchildren.

Pr. Hamlin is a graduate of the University of Pittsburg and the Lutheran Seminary at Philadelphia. Upon seminary graduation (1964) he was awarded a Trexler Fellowship for Graduate Study at the University of Chicago. He later earned a doctorate in ministry from the Graduate Theological Foundation at Notre Dame (1988).

Ordained into the Ministry of Word and Sacrament in 1965, he served parishes in the Upstate New York Synod for 38 years.

Pastor Hamlin's interests and hobbies include reading, cross-word puzzels, and travel. He has a passion for sharing the good news of the gospel. His preaching style is 'down-to-earth" - and sometimes tinged with humor!

Pastor Hamlin sees his role as helping Tree of Life to prepare for the next regularly-called pastor and to provide basic Christ-centered and mission-directed ministry.
