Meet Our Pastor

 
 

pastor Paul & Lori Langmade

Paul and Lori have a vision and heart for the community of Chatfield. One of their biggest joys is meeting new people and helping them develop a closer relationship with Jesus.

Paul has served as a pastor in churches in St. Petersburg, FL, International Falls, MN, Ripon, WI and most recently at Grace Church in Stewartville. Paul also helped start a new church in Wabasha and is excited to be a part of this new church here in Chatfield.

Paul and Lori have been married over 30 years and have five great kids: Joshua, his wife Anna, Jacob, Rachel, and her husband Connor.

Paul grew up as a preacher’s kid in southern MN and surrendered his life to Jesus at a Lowell Lundstrom Crusade. He graduated from Elgin-Millville in 1986 and later attended Northwestern College where he met his amazing wife Lori. After sensing God’s call to ministry, he went to Bethel Seminary and graduated in 1996.

A few fun facts about Paul are that he has pedal biked around Lake Michigan, went scuba diving in the Florida Keys, got baptized in the Jordan River, and has owned 10 motorcycles throughout his lifetime.  Some fun facts about Lori are that she has taught conversational English in Japan, jumped out of a perfectly good airplane for fun, and was a guide in the Boundary Waters.
