Dr. Michael L. Frandsen, Pastor

Dr. & Mrs. Michael Frandsen

Welcome to the corner of Christ’s kingdom that we lovingly refer to as the Eastminster Presbyterian Church. We are a small but mighty band of believers dedicated to allowing Christ’s light to shine in our love for each other and the community. At present, we have about 170 official members with about 130 of us showing up to worship the Lord Jesus on Sunday mornings. I arrived here to be the pastor of the church in June of 2009. My vision is that we would be a relevant, dynamic and fluid organization seeking the Lord’s will in our ministries here and abroad.

My priorities are spiritual growth through worship and small groups. As each of us develops a deep and meaningful relationship with our living Lord, we would share that contagious joy with those around us. My hope is that we would nourish and empower each other’s faith to the point that Jesus could use us in service to Him. Because we are a small church, we already have more ministries here than the saints required for this work. If you are looking for a relevant place to live out your faith empowered by dynamic worship experiences, spirit filled small groups and service opportunities, we hope you will consider joining our family of faith. If you find that you have been broken under the wheel of life and need a place to be loved, Eastminster may just be the place for you!
