Our Pastor

Hi, I’m Pastor Patrick Freese. I have been living the dream in Abita Springs, Louisiana since 2014. I love my wife Sarah, my daughters Abbie and Kate, and how rarely it snows here. I’m privileged to serve in Northshore Louisiana and share Jesus as my profession. I hope you can see the difference he makes in your life.

I was born in Tucson, Arizona and grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I am a 2008 graduate of our church body’s college of ministry, Martin Luther College in New Ulm, Minnesota. In 2012 I graduated from our church body’s seminary, Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary near Milwaukee.

I served as a vicar (intern) at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Hastings, Minnesota in 2011. In 2012 I served as campus pastor at California Lutheran High School in Wildomar, California. Since 2014 I have been the pastor at Trinity Lutheran in Abita Springs.
