Lead Pastors: Patrick & Laura Grach

Patrick Grach is the founder and Lead Pastor of Lifehouse Church. Though God placed the vision for church planting in his heart during college, that vision became reality in 2003 when he and his wife, Laura, moved to Hagerstown, Maryland. Originally from New York, Patrick and Laura have served in the tristate area since 1999.

Both are graduates of Northpoint Bible College (formerly Zion Bible College) with bachelor’s degrees in Biblical Studies—Patrick with a minor in Pastoral Ministry and Laura in Christian Education. Patrick also holds a Master’s in Counseling from Regent University and earned his Doctor of Ministry (DMin) from Southeastern University.

Patrick considers it a privilege to pastor Lifehouse and is known for preaching with honesty, humor, and practical insight. He enjoys hiking, camping, skiing, golfing, and jumping into any endurance race that comes his way—from marathons to triathlons and mud runs. Laura has served on staff at Lifehouse since 2010 while also holding down the fort at home. Together they have six amazing children: three daughters—Rebecca, Carissa, and Bethany—and three sons—Daniel, Matthew, and Caleb.
