Lakeview Lutheran Church Staff

 Pastor Darin graduated from Luther Seminary and was ordained in 1992. Prior to being called to serve at Lakeview he was pastor at Grace, Tomahawk; All Saints, Oshkosh; and Our Savior’s, West Bend. He served along with his wife, Rev. Joy Mortensen-Wiebe at two of those congregations. She is now Bishop of South-Central Synod of Wisconsin, ELCA.

Pastor Darin and Bishop Joy have two adult daughters, a son-in-law, and a grandson.

Pastor Darin enjoys reading, creating art, and going for walks with his dog, Cocounut.

 Lynn Hallie Najem has served as the musical director/pianist at Lakeview since June 2008.  She plays for services, funerals, and weddings.  As the choir director, she is continually amazed by the dedication of the members who add so much to the congregation’s worship with their talents.  She encourages everyone to consider joining us!

In her non-Lakeview time, Lynn teaches piano and voice lessons and accompanies musicians for solo & ensemble and auditions.  She shares a home with three large spoiled cats, who are a constant source of amusement.  

Jeff started as Lakeview Lutheran’s custodian in March 2024. Prior to LLC, he was an Electronic Technician at GE Healthcare and retired after 34 years of service.  He enjoys watching Packers, Badgers, Brewers, and Bucks games and also enjoys sci fi movies.

The rest of his spare time is spent attending outdoor music festivals in the Madison area and tinkering with whatever electronic gadgets he can get his hands on.
