Todd Frederick
Lead Pastor 

Pastor Todd and his wife, Ruth Ann, have been married since 1989. They have four children and six grandchildren. They have served as missionaries with Ethnos 360 Bible Insitute and churches in Michigan prior to serving at Shoreline church. Pastor Todd’s diverse career background includes military service in the US Navy and about a million miles as a professional truck driver with various companies. With so much travel in his background, his favorite place is home… especially when the grandkids are around! Pastor Todd graduated from Grand Rapids Theological Seminary in 2013 with a Master of Divinity degree. He was ordained as an elder in the Church of the United Brethren in Christ in 2016. He loves being a part of the UB denomination! His hobbies include reading, building Lego kits, and, of course, spending time with the grandchildren.
