Dear Friends,

Our Staff Pastor Parish Relations Committee is grateful to share that the Rev. Larry Brown has joined us as Interim Pastor. He started this past Monday, February 9, and will serve with us through Easter Sunday, April 5.
Rev. Brown is a retired elder in the West Ohio Conference and formerly served at Powell United Methodist Church. He brings with him a deep love for the local church, a steady pastoral presence, and many years of experience guiding congregations through seasons of transition.
During his time with us, Rev. Brown will focus on:
- Community building
- Congregational healing
- Supporting healthy closure as we prepare for the next chapter in our ministry
We are thankful for his willingness to walk alongside us in this important season. Please join us in offering Rev. Brown a warm welcome as we continue seeking God’s grace, wisdom, and unity together.
