Pastor Shane Hein
Pastor Shane was born and raised in Calgary, AB, later moving with his family to a farm near Hanna, AB. He graduated from J.C. Charyk Hanna High in 1988, and then chose to remain in Hanna to work on both the farm and in the family business. He has been married to Debbie since 1999, and together they have two children, Cole and Kianna. He cherishes his role as husband and father as the gifts that they are and loves spending time with them. He also enjoys golfing, dabbling in computer technology, and is an avid fan of the Medicine Hat Tigers, Calgary Flames, Calgary Stampeders, and the Dallas Cowboys. During the years that Pastor Shane served in the family business he attended trade school at Red Deer College. By 2010 though, he had accepted God’s call to full-time Christian ministry and prepared to fulfill that call with the full support of all his family and friends. Upon graduating from the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Saskatoon in 2015, Pastor Shane accepted a call to St. Peter Lutheran Church in Medicine Hat and continues to serve this outstanding congregation to this day. In 2019, he also accepted the position of Chaplain of the South Alberta Light Horse Regiment; a Canadian Armed Forces Reserve Armoured unit based in Medicine Hat. Besides his work in Medicine Hat, Pastor Shane also serves the wonderful folks of two rural congregations: St. Paul Lutheran in Burstall, SK, and Bethlehem Lutheran in Hilda, AB. He is pleased to now be further serving the community of Medicine Hat and Southeast Alberta as the Christian Funeral Service Chapel for Saamis Memorial Funeral Chapel.
