Leadership at Lutheran Church of the Foothills
Here to Guide You

Pastor Naomi Hartman
Senior Pastor
Pastor Naomi Hartman joined the Lutheran Church of the Foothills community in December 2021. After receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Theology from Texas Lutheran University, Pastor Naomi went on to receive her Masters in Divinity from the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg. She was ordained as a Pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America on November 29, 2009, at her home church in Abilene, Texas.
For twelve years she served congregations in rural Nebraska and urban and suburban Maryland. Along with her husband, Rev. Greg Hartman, and their three children, Pastor Naomi is excited to participate in a congregation of faith that actively proclaims the inclusion of all God’s people in worship and fellowship. She strongly advocates for Anti-Racism, Radical Hospitality and LGBTQIA+ inclusivity in our communities and, most importantly, in Christ’s church. She supports Extraordinary Lutheran Ministries and is a member of Proclaim, a professional community for LGBTQIA+ Lutheran ministry leaders.
Pastor Naomi invites you to join us for worship and fellowship at Lutheran Church of the Foothills. Come and feel the welcome and supportive love of these servants of God who are called to share God’s love with all people.
