Meet Pastor Pat
A Shepherd for the Real World Pastor Pat believes that church shouldn't be a place where you have to pretend to be perfect. As the "Kilted Rev," he brings a unique, down-to-earth perspective to ministry, focusing on the idea that Hope Lutheran is a "Hospital for Sinners" rather than a museum for saints.
Whether he’s wearing a kilt or a collar, his goal is the same: to make sure you feel like family after your very first visit. He is deeply committed to walking alongside the Jacksonville community through the real struggles of daily life with grace, humor, and the truth of the Gospel.
When he isn’t at the church, you’ll likely find him out in the community or connecting with folks over a cup of coffee. He’s always just a text or a call away.
