Rev. Wendy Heinemann began her career in education, teaching in public and private schools and colleges. She taught English, history, and religion courses. Her work evolved into Chaplaincy and curriculum writing as she answered the call to ordained ministry. Educated at Harvard Divinity School and Asbury Theological Seminary, Wendy balances a love for the academic pursuit of deeper knowledge with the spiritual pursuit of a deeper relationship with Christ. Wendy is an ordained elder in the Global Methodist Church, serving as the senior pastor at First Methodist Church Rosenberg.

Wendy’s passion is helping people grow in their Christian faith – discipleship. She finds fulfillment in preaching, teaching, and curriculum development for people of all ages. She can be found in a children’s Sunday School class with her guitar, an adult Bible study classroom with her books, a Wesley college retreat with a sense of humor, a hospital room with her compassion, or the pulpit with the Word of God.

Wendy authored the 2023 summer camp curriculum, Shine, for Lakeview Methodist Conference Center. She then turned her attention to the Trinity Conference Rise Up Summer Camp, writing and teaching 2024 Rise Up and 2025 Not Ashamed. Wendy is currently working on the 2026 curriculum, No Other Name.

Pastor Wendy is married to her college sweetheart. They have two wonderful sons and two energetic huskies. The Heinemann family enjoys board games, movies, camping, and paintball.

Wendy is available for speaking engagements and customized curriculum development.
