Pastor Bobby Vitek

Co-Pastor

Pastor Bobby Vitek has been at Holy Ghost Church since 1997, teaming as co-pastor with Rev. David Priem since 2001. What he most appreciates about the people of Holy Ghost is their willingness to try new things for the advancement of God’s Kingdom.

His favorite Bible verse is “Let your light so shine before others that they may see good works and give glory to the Father in heaven” (Matt. 5:16). He believes that the Church is God’s instrument to a world that desperately needs the hope that Christ, the Savior, alone can provide.

Pastor Bobby is a life long Lutheran, educated at Texas Lutheran University in Seguin and Wartburg Theological Seminary in Iowa. He is married to Tammy who teaches fourth grade at FISD. The Viteks have two children, Katy, who is a graduate student at Luther Seminary, and Andy, who is studying at Texas A&M.

Pastor Bobby believes that the church’s greatest challenge today is to hold fast to traditional Lutheran teachings while at the same time discover innovative ways of being a relevant church.
