Frank & Lisa Potter-LHCN Executive Team
Patrick & Laura Grach-Church Plants Director
Patrick is the founding and lead pastor of LifeHouse East. While God had laid this vision on Patrick's heart in college, the process of planting the church finally began in 2003, when they transitioned from youth and college age ministry to Hagerstown, Maryland to begin LifeHouse East.
While Patrick and Laura are both originally from New York, they have lived in Maryland since 1999. Laura and Patrick graduated from Zion Bible College with BAs in Biblical Studies. Patrick went on to get his MA in Counseling from Regent University. After their graduation and 5 1/2 years of dating, they finally got married and began ministry together.
They have three daughters: Rebecca, Carissa and Bethany. Laura holds down the fort while Patrick does whatever he can to hold on to any semblance of manhood: fishing, hiking, golfing, softball, or watching any epic war movie.
