While Laurian is a recent California refugee, wishing he would have known that Idaho was so much more than potatoes, believes that all of life’s experiences and training was “for such a time as this,” God’s will and purpose at Trinity, Boise and the Treasure Valley.

He and Puscha, his wife of twenty-nine years, came to Boise from northern California to serve as Senior Pastor at Trinity at the beginning of 2018.  Marc, his older son is married to beautiful Debralyn and living in Chicago, while Brandon, his youngest son, lives and works in San Diego, because he loves the ocean.

Both Laurian and Puscha were born in Romania and came to the U.S. at a very young age.  Pastor Laurian grew up and lived most of his life in Chicago.  While having been blessed to attend Christian schools from the day he arrived in the States, he was led to garner his Biblical training from Liberty University and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.

Pastor Laurian has been in ministry since his early twenties and has pastored churches all across the country, held evangelistic services throughout Europe and planted ministry groups in the U.S.  In 2003, he started Seraphim Fellowship in Jesus Christ in Ottawa, IL, a church that ministers to skydivers all across the U.S.

The Lord led Laurian from Chicago to the West Coast for seven years in preparation of the work that God would call him to Boise.

Laurian enjoys all the activities that would lead him to intersect the lives of those that are hungry for the love of God.

One his favorite passages of Scriptures, that summarizes his ministry is….

1 Corinthians 9:22-23

22 ….I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. 

23 I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings.         

Having said that, he enjoys riding his motorcycle with his wife and sons, getting a breath of fresh air while skydiving, admiring God’s creation while scuba diving with his sons, fly fishing with his brothers from our church fellowship and chasing angels while skiing.

Pastor Laurian loves being with people and teaching the Word with passion and contagious clarity.  He loves serving the Lord together with the elders and the Trinity family.

Dan has been an Idaho native for twenty years and loves fly fishing. His beloved wife passed away a few years ago, and he remains close with his two grown children. He enjoys the loving fellowship of Trinity where he uses his gifts of teaching and administration.

His favorite verse comes from Proverbs 3:5-6

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all of your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.”

Dan gave his life to Christ around nineteen years old and over time with the Lord's patience and kindness realized that serving Him fully was a joy and not a dry duty done sporadically. His passion is to serve the Lord globally through missions and is faithful to those opportunities the Lord opens to him.

Mark has lived in the Treasure Valley since 1984, when he and his wife, Mary, moved here from
Wyoming with their children. They call Idaho home and are blessed to have their children and
grandchildren living in the area. Mark helps teach in a Life Group and teaches a Sunday School
lesson now and then for the children.

His favorite bible passage is Ephesians 2:8-10

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of
God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in
Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Mark grew up in a Christian home and re-dedicated his life to Christ when he was nineteen years old in college at the University of Wyoming. He has been blessed with many wonderful opportunities to serve the Lord at home, in business and through the Church. He uses his warm humor and sometimes dumb jokes to share the joy and assurance of Christ’s deep love for all His children.
