A little about our staff...
Pastor Mike:
Hi Friends,
First, I would like to thank you for checking out our website. I feel blessed that you have stopped by at palmyraumchurch.org. If you have prayer request let us know online. I also hope you take time to move around our site and see what is going on in God’s fantastic church that we are here to manage and serve.
I thought I would tell you a little about me. I started into ministry in 1973 just two months after my wife, Angi, and I were married. I served a student appointment in Owen Co., Indiana while attending Indiana State University for four and a half years. I served for two years after that in our U.M. camping program in North Webster, Indiana. There were a couple of years after that experience where I took some time to make sure of God’s calling on my life to be a pastor. I didn’t have to wait long before He assured me that I was to be serving Him.
I have enjoyed everywhere I have served in ministry. I received my M.Div. at Asbury Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky. Just a little side note: During that time I was Pastor of a Bowling Green U. M. church southeast of Terre Haute, Indiana so many miles were covered.
I currently serve here at PUMC. I started in June of 2005. I had to look that up because it never feels that long. It has been a great place to be! We are a church with several different ministries and those are growing all the time. But most of all, we are a church that really tries everyday to build on loving others. Are we perfect? I don’t think so! Will you find the occasional person you might possibly call a hypocrite? I would rather say that we are folks that are growing past our mistakes and trying desperately to make a difference in our community, building followers of Jesus, imperfections and all. Come by sometime soon! Our worship and ministry hours are listed. We would love to see you!
