Meet Our Pastor

Rev. Arthur Andrews

Arthur Andrews is more than just a pastor at Hephatha Lutheran Church and School in Anaheim, CA. He is a loving husband to his wife, a devoted father to his two kids, and a faithful servant of God. He has a rich and diverse background, having lived in different parts of the country and studied theology, philosophy, and Marriage and Family Therapy. He also shares his wisdom and passion with others as an adjunct professor at Concordia University, Irvine, a radio contributor, a think tank member, and a conference speaker.

Arthur knows what it means to overcome adversity and embrace the opportunity. He came to America as an immigrant with nothing but hope and faith. He grew up in a broken family that taught him the value of forgiveness and healing. He played college basketball which taught him the value of teamwork and discipline. He faced many trials and tribulations that taught him the value of perseverance and resilience. And he met many mentors and friends that taught him the value of love and grace.

Arthur’s life is a testimony of God’s grace, which is the driving force behind his life and ministry. He loves to spend his free time doing things that bring him joy and peace, such as playing basketball, hiking, drinking coffee, kayaking, reading good books, listening to music, and most of all, enjoying his family and friends.
