Leadership Board

Term: 2022-25

I feel called to help, to help others feel the love and connection to our church, but more importantly, to the one who loves them perfectly just where they are. I want our church to be known as the church that loves all and meets the needs of our community whenever and wherever we possibly can…to connect people to each other, to our church and to our Savior.

I am most looking forward to serving on the board to help streamline our process, support our staff and congregation and most importantly, to help our missions area grow. I love being helpful and serving others and I hope this SAS model will provide more opportunity to grow our church, our faith, our community and make disciples of Jesus for the transformation of the world.

Our family of four have been members of HMUMC for 8 years. Over the years, at a number of churches, my wife Paula and I have served on several Administrative Boards, or as staff members. We are followers of Jesus and want to see HMUMC grow and prosper. ​

I have special interest in growing the youth group with Max and Nora having a couple of years left in student ministry. I am convinced that student ministry is a key indicator of the health of the church.

I appreciate the opportunity to serve our church as a member of the Leadership Board. I will work to achieve the mission and vision of HMUMC through our four guiding principles of Gather, Grow, Go and Give.

I am drawn to work as a member of HMUMC Leadership Board to help the church navigate through these transitional times. HMUMC is a place where my children grew up. I have been humbled to serve in multiple other capacities at the church and feel that this opportunity will allow me to have my largest impact. I believe in our church and want to help it support the whole community.

My name is Megan and I have been married to Eric for 16 years. We have three children, Ellie (13), Olivia (11), and Eliot (7). I am currently in my second year as a middle school librarian but spent thirteen years as a language arts teacher.​

We found a home at HMUMC primarily because it is exactly what our children need in this season for their spiritual growth. ​

I think being a member of The Leadership Board will be a great opportunity for me to serve the church.
