VICTORY PRESCHOOL - Key Persons
Job Titles:
- Director / Lead 3K Teacher
Welcome to Victory Preschool! My goal is to create an environment that, first and foremost, introduces students to the love of their Savior, Jesus; secondly, meets students at their level and builds a foundation for success in all areas of development; finally, creates a close-knit family of students, parents, and staff in Christ!
I knew that I wanted to be a teacher when I was 4 years old and am thankful to be fulfilling that calling in my life! I received my B.S. in Early Childhood and Elementary Education from Martin Luther College in 2005, and in 2015 completed my Masters in Education - Early Childhood Education Curriculum and Instruction through Concordia University. I enjoy interacting with diverse groups of learners and gained experience with a variety of cultures while serving Christ the Lord Lutheran Preschool in Houston, Texas (2005-2010), teaching PreK and Kindergarten at Gloria Dei Lutheran in Belmont, California (2010-2020), and now in Jacksonville (2020-present).
In August 2023, I married my husband Steven and we are settling into the Mandarin area of town. Our hobbies include camping, puzzles, baking, 3-D printing, and more.
I am blessed to serve this community and look forward to partnering with your family!
Hi! I'm Pastor Troy Schreiner, and I can't wait to welcome you to our loving family at Victory Lutheran Church and Preschool! By God's grace, I began my ministry at Victory in July 2019.
I grew up in Michigan, and attended high school at Michigan Lutheran Seminary, where I first received encouragement and began considering being a pastor. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Martin Luther College in New Ulm, MN in 2010, and received my Seminary training at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in Mequon, WI. In 2013, I served a one-year pastoral internship near Charleston, SC, and first got to experience life in the south! Upon graduation from WLS, I was assigned to serve as an associate pastor at Mount Olive Lutheran Church in Appleton, WI. I served at Mount Olive for 5 years, during which my ministry focused on the areas of Evangelism, Youth Ministry, and Worship.
In 2014, I married my wife Kelly. We have three young children, Faith, Noah, and Magdalena, and a Fox Terrier named Max. Our family loves spending time outside, going camping, traveling, and playing games. In just a short time, Jacksonville already feels like home, and we're so excited to continue to grow closer and more connected to our church family at Victory, and our Jacksonville community! We can't wait to meet you in person at Victory!
