Herb Frost Pastor Herb Frost accepted a call to minister at Rochester Covenant Church in December of 2010. Herb and his wife Paula came to us from Rhode Island and previously from Castle Rock, Colorado where in 1999 they planted Castle Oaks Covenant Church. He has a Master of Divinity degree from Michigan Theological Seminary, and is ordained in the Evangelical Covenant Church. Formerly a research chemist/polymer scientist, in the mid 1990s the call to full-time ministry led him out of scientific work into ministry in the local church. Herb had also previously served on the staff of The Navigators in discipleship ministry. Herb is passionate about depth in Christ and the compassionate expression of Christ’s love in local and global ministry. Herb is a gifted leader and teacher with a shepherd's heart. The Frost’s three young adult children (Robin, Brad and Peter) are friends, partners in ministry and a real joy to their hearts. He loves reading, the camaraderie of playing and coaching sports, and outdoor activities. In his spare time he is found woodworking, reading or on a walk with Paula. Email: herbfrost@rochcov.org
