Our Staff

Hi, my name is Zach Lysdahl. I am the pastor of First United Presbyterian Church (FUPC) in Collinsville, Illinois and I have been in church ministry for more than a decade. FUPC is a wonderful church filled with people who are dedicated to growing in their faith and increasing in their love for all of God’s creation. I am grateful to serve FUPC as we work to positively impact the community through our outreach programs, ministries, and worship services. I have a passion for reformed theology, liturgy, sharing the redemptive love of Jesus with people. Some of the things that bring me joy are walks with my wife, a good cup of coffee and conversation, riding my bicycle(s), and doughnuts. Stop by the church sometime and say “hi.” I will be glad to chat with you for a while. Lastly, a prayer for you “Lord God, have mercy on your beloved and bless them with a life of peace. Amen.”
