On July 1st, 2014, IVFF welcomed Rev. Dean Landry to the position of Senior Pastor of Indian Valley Faith Fellowship.  Pastor Dean and his wife Kendra come to us after more than sixteen years of pastoral ministry at their church in Northern Michigan.

Dean and Kendra have four children and two grandchildren. Dean grew up in Rhode Island, and became a Christian while serving in the Marine Corps in the Philippines. Following his enlistment, Dean and Kendra moved to PA, where he obtained a Bachelor’s from Baptist Bible College of PA.  Dean also completed two grad degrees, from Bethel College and Grand Rapids Theological Seminary.

Dean’s great desire is to see the body of Christ loving and serving the Lord and others in a unity that is anchored in Scripture and faithful to Jesus Christ.  Dean’s greatest passion lies particularly in teaching God’s Word.

Dean and Kendra enjoy the Christian hope, the communion of saints, a life changed, grace, forgiveness, forbearance, family, dating each other, sightseeing, gorgeous sunsets, sprawling trees, the smell of the shore, tunes from Bach to Rock, Van Gogh, interesting designs, a soft heart, a selfless act, a good book, a good laugh, good food and good friends (to name a few).  We pray you will join us as Pastor Dean serves our ministry with the Pastors, Elders, Staff and People of IVFF.
