Derek Klemm
Senior Pastor

Derek Klemm here - I've been a pastor at MVLCS since 2014. I'm passionate about helping people grow closer in their walk with Jesus. I've lived all over the country, with most of my adult life in Nevada, and in southern California. When I'm not at church you'll often find me traveling, spending time with my wife Jen and other family and friends, checking my fantasy sports app (especially football, baseball, and hockey), enjoying the mountains, and checking out new restaurants!

 Brad Wellik
Associate Pastor

Hi there, my name is Pastor Brad! I’ve been serving at Mountain View Lutheran since 2019. I was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona. I enjoy connecting with people and helping them dig deeper into the mysteries and promises of God! In my off-time I enjoy watching Formula One races, working out in the garden, and spending time with my wonderful wife Leanna and our playful pug, Mr. Pete!
