Pastor Frank, his wife Gloria, and their 3 children came to Whitepine in August of 1999, and have been the longest serving pastoral family at Whitepine. Passionate about worship and music, which find expression in his role as a worship leader, musician, and songwriter, Frank also enjoys reading (a pastime shared with the many ‘mystery fans’ in his family!), sharing laughs with friends, watching his kids play soccer, and the beauty of nature. A student with various degrees (including a Doctor of Ministry degree from Bethel University), Frank considers his role as a husband and father to be the most important God has given to him. As a pastor and leader, Frank very much considers himself a ‘fellow pilgrim’ with those in our fellowship, and seeks to see God honored as people discover the fullness of life in Christ. Not one for ‘formalities’ or ‘showy appearances’ (please don’t call him ‘Doctor’ or ‘Reverend Trail’!), Frank and his family are truly a part of the Whitepine family, and serve by loving and walking with us as together we seek to love and walk with Christ.
