Church Leadership

Staff

Our Church recently voted unanimously to hire Darin Lund, M.Div as our new Lead Pastor. Darin will start June 1st.

Andrea Patten – Deaconess of Youth Ministry

Andrea and Jake are both passionate about enriching the lives of youth in the community by teaching the gospel and other biblical principles, connecting youth with mature, responsible adults, and working together on building healthy, intentional relationships.  They have both worked in camp ministry and continue to seek out challenging and encouraging activities and experiences for the youth in this program.  They are so happy and encouraged to be part of the body of Christ, witnessing his presence in the lives of the kids here, and look forward to meeting new participants in the days ahead. 

Deborah Veit – Ministry Coordinator/Deaconess of Fellowship

Deb grew up in central Pennsylvania and graduated from Penn State with a degree in Environmental Education. She first arrived on the North Shore back in 2001 for a college internship at Grand Portage National Monument where she met her future husband, Steve. The couple settled in Grand Marais full time in the fall of 2005 and started attending the church here at the same time. Deb has been actively involved in the church’s Youth Group Ministry, Women’s Bible Study, and meets regularly with high school students for Sunday morning Bible studies. She and Steve are the proud parents of their son Nathan and cat Oliver.
