About Our Pastor

Pastor Tony Pflughoeft began serving as pastor at Christ the Vine in July 2022. Although he was born in El Paso, TX, he grew up in a suburb of Milwaukee, WI. He earned his B.A. with an emphasis in Classical Biblical languages from Martin Luther College in New Ulm, MN, and received his M.Div. from Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in Mequon, WI in 2022. As part of his preparation, he spent a year as a Vicar (Pastoral Intern) at Hope Lutheran Church in Toronto, ON, Canada.

Pastor Pflughoeft married his wife, Erin, in December of 2018, and God has blessed them with three children.

Pastor Pflughoeft is passionate about proclaiming the love of Jesus to the people of Christ the Vine and the Greater Temecula area. In his personal time, he enjoys listening to podcasts, exploring the city, and watching sports.​
