Pastors Aaron & Laura Fregard

That’s us! Hi, I’m Aaron and this is my beautiful wife Laura next to me. We are Twin Ports natives who have a flair for adventure and travel. We got married in 2016 and have since welcomed our two children Nathaniel & Eliana into the world.

God called us to pastor Great Lakes in 2018, and we love what we do. We don’t see Church as a one or two-man show. Rather, we see our pastoral leadership role as an important piece of the Church, not it’s only function. At Great Lakes, we recognize that every believer has a calling on their life and has been given special abilities from the Holy Spirit. Our desire is to help people discover their calling and flourish in their gifting(s) so they can equip the Church to transform the Duluth area and the world for Christ.

To put it simply — we love Jesus! None of us are perfect, but He IS, and His grace is enough for us. Join our movement as we pursue His presence and follow Jesus together. See you soon.
