Pastor Lloyd Quanbeck
Senior Pastor
Pastor Lloyd is a native of McVille, ND, and grew up as a farm kid, and the second of six children. He is thankful for the Godly heritage passed on to him from parents, grandparents and great-grandparents, who were active in their local Free Lutheran congregation, and also had a living personal faith in Jesus Christ.

He has served as Pastor of Free Lutheran congregations in Northome & Mizpah, MN (1990-1996), Minot, ND (1996-2009), Ulen, MN (2009-2015) and at Maranatha Free Lutheran in Glyndon, MN (2009-Present).

He and his wife, Jean, are the parents of seven children, and grandparents to seven grandkids. His hobbies include gardening, repurposing an old granary, and trying to keep all of the family cars running.
