Vicar Seth Noggle is currently a TEEM candidate with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. TEEM stands for Theological Education for Emerging Ministries. It is a graduate-level certificate program that prepares candidates for ministry with theological education and pastoral formation, eventually leading to ordination. He is enrolled at Wartburg Theological Seminary in Dubuque, Iowa. He currently has a B.A. in Student Ministries with a minor in Sociology from Geneva College.

Seth previously held the role of Director of Youth & Family Ministry for 12 years, and now continues at Trinity as our full-time lead minister and executive. He continues to play a key role in our ministry with children and youth, as well as leading the “Open Table” Campus Ministry at the Lutheran Centre at Kutztown University. He represents Trinity in the community and preaches, supports, and teaches the members of our congregation.

Seth has a passion for community development and a deep love for the Kutztown community. He moved here from the Pittsburgh area, where he worked at a non-profit called The Pittsburgh Project that worked to fix homes of the elderly and people with disabilities. He is married to his lovely wife Sara and they live right here in Kutztown.
