Rev. Frank L. Lamson

Pastor

Rev. Frank L. Lamson is a native of Massachusetts and grew up on the north shore in the Cape Ann town of Rockport. He was educated at Central Connecticut State University where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Education and Yale University where he earned a

Master of Divinity degree. He served pastorates in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania until his first retirement in December 2012. After relocating to Vero Beach and wanting more than just retirement, he accepted the call to serve as Pastor to Crossroads Church in September 2014.

Pastor Lamson is married to the Rev. Maryann Ronan-Lamson, also of Vero Beach and happily retired. They have one son, Daniel, age 33. Dan serves as Executive Director of the Indian River Neighborhood Association and is on the technical staff at the Community Church UCC of Vero Beach.

In his spare time, Pastor Lamson enjoys traveling, cooking and reading, especially history. He also plays golf--not well, but he keeps trying. These days, he is particularly interested in the writings of the Franciscan spiritual director, Richard Rohr. He finds his greatest joy in the crafting of the weekly liturgy and presiding at worship.
