pastor tom and paula loud

Senior Pastor Tom Loud and his wife Paula have been attending SFGF since 1985. Prior to assuming the role of Senior Pastor on June 13, 2010, Tom had served as the Associate Pastor for 8 years alongside Pastor Emeritus Trevor Harris.  Tom also served as the Adult Sunday School teacher for approximately 23 years.   Pastor Tom leads marketplace ministry and takes teams out to pray for the community every Thursday where they witness salvation, re-dedications and healings as a result of this outreach.  You can view YouTubes of these excursions through the church website or by searching for Tom Loud on the YouTube website.  Pastor Tom makes this opportunity available to anyone who has a desire to participate in this type of prayer and outreach by simply making arrangements through the Church office.  Paula assumed Tom’s previous Adult Sunday School duties and has taught numerous studies over the past 9+ years while also serving as a featured speaker for Wednesday evening Bible Study, occasional Sundays and for various Women’s and Youth retreats.  In addition, Paula co-chairs Women’s Ministry and has participated in leading retreats together with Gayle Noll and Anna Hurd Wahlmeier.  Together Tom and Paula share a love for the Word of God and have a heart of compassion and care for God’s people as well as meeting the needs of our community in the Shoreline area.  Along with serving at the church, Paula works full-time as an Operations Manager for the Invention Science Fund 7at Intellectual Ventures located in Bellevue, Washington.

Youth Pastor Patrick Wahlmeier was adopted into a Christian family when he was 5 years old. He accepted Jesus as his Savior when he was 6, and was water baptized at that same time. Patrick spent his childhood and youth involved in the AWANA program and child evangelism. Patrick attended Multnomah Bible College in 1990. After college, Patrick got involved in bodybuilding and the health food industry.  In 1997, the Lord led Patrick to move to Seattle, where he met and married his wife, Anna, in July of 1998. In 2004, Patrick became the Youth Pastor of the youth group at SFGF.  Patrick has successfully grown the youth group each year through down to earth teaching and exciting youth activities built to encourage youth to put God first and continue to serve Him no matter what life throws your way.

Trevor Harris was the founding pastor of Shoreline Full Gospel Fellowship. Although he has now retired, the legacy of Spirit-filled teaching and devoted service he has left behind will carry on in our minds and hearts. After a long and fruitful career, Pastor Harris and his wife Valerie have relocated to eastern Washington to be close to family. We are sincerely grateful to have been guided in faith by this family for so many wonderful years.

Elizabeth Rees Lupo

Elizabeth came to know Jesus at an early age through the AWANA program and was raised in the Methodist church, but her relationship with the Lord was one of religious tradition, not one that was real and alive.  All that changed in 2012 when she had an encounter with the Lord that caused her to truly begin to follow Jesus.

Elizabeth has worked at SFGF as Administrative Director since 2021 when Pastor Tom felt God-led to reach out to her and offer her the position. At this same time, God had told Elizabeth that she would be leaving the industry she had previously been working in. With the thought of a career change on the horizon, she asked the Lord for a job where she could be in service to Him and to others. So, when Tom’s offer of employment came, she knew it was the Lord’s will.  Shortly after taking the office position, Elizabeth felt led to join the congregation at SFGF and considers this church her home and family.

In addition to her administrative duties, Elizabeth periodically assists with teaching Bible study on Wednesday evenings and occasionally gives a Sunday message. She loves to encourage and assist in the various ministries at SFGF as best she can. Her office door is always open to her church family should any need arise, or to simply stop by and say hi. She and her dog Bailey, a little chihuahua-rat terrier mix, are always happy to make new friends and visit with old ones!
