Meet The Pastor
Pastor Brad Eidson
Pastor Brad Eidson comes by being a pastor rather honestly. His father has been an ordained minister in the ELCA since 1997 and his maternal grandfather was a US Naval Chaplin and has been an ordained minister in the ELCA since 1962.
Though this isn’t always the job he had envisioned for himself, Pastor Brad has learned that God often calls those who at times may be the most hesitant to pursue this calling.
He graduated from the University of West Florida in 2009 with a Bachelor’s degree in political science and graduated from Trinity Lutheran Seminary in 2014.
He and his family come to the “big city” of Portland from a small rural farm town called Golden, Illinois where he served as pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church from 2014-2018.
