Pastor Patrick Torbit
Patrick began as pastor of Bread of Life in February of 2020. A native of Maryland, Patrick drummed through parts of the country and world for two years with Youth Encounter, a Youth and Family music ministry out of Minnesota. It was during this transformative time that Patrick sensed a nudge toward ministry. Also through this Patrick met his lovely wife Allison, a North Dakota native and Elementary school teacher. Patrick received a business degree from Minot State (Go Beavers!) in 2008 and a masters of divinity from Luther Seminary (No Mascot!) in 2012. He has previously pastored churches in eastern North Dakota and Sonoma County, California. Patrick and Allison have three little loves whom they adore and who also test their patience regularly - Kinley, Kiera and Perry. Other littles loves of Patrick’s include ice hockey, ice cream, the ukulele, and laughter.
