LEadership board

Meet the Leadership Board

The responsibilities of this Board are to create the initial guiding principles, leadership covenant, policies & procedures for HMUMC. The Leadership Board is made up of 9 individuals, each serving on 3-year, staggered, terms. This new board is nominated by the Committee on Nominations and Leadership Development and voted on by either the church or charge conference.

Board meetings occur on the second Monday of every month, at 7PM in Rm 339. These meetings are open to the public and we encourage anyone who is interested in learning more about the Board, asking questions, or voicing input to attend. A meeting summary will be posted on this page monthly as well.

"I knew HMUMC was my church “home” as soon as I arrived here!  I’ve had the pleasure of raising (and continue to raise!) my 3 children in this church with 2 of them attending preschool here.  I am currently the chair of the Administrative Council and volunteer at the Pantry.

I look forward to meeting and partnering with new friends to support the transformation of our church so that we can deepen our congregants love for our God and reach those that have yet to learn of Him.  God is so good and I am humbled at the opportunity to serve him at HMUMC."

"I love the many ways in which HMUMC reaches out to serve the community.  I've been continuously involved as an Adult Leader for our Scout Troop since its formation in 1999, and I’ve been the Scouting Coordinator for all scout units in the church since 2016.  I've also been a part of the Early Response Team since it was formed and have deployed on several disaster response missions.  Also active in UMM.

I’m looking forward to helping institute a more efficient and effective lay leadership model for the church."

"I am grateful for the variety of ministries provided by our church.  The blessed balance is wide ranging from extensive community service to out of country missions and Spirit filled gospel sermons.  I especially appreciate the Christ centered emphasis from the pulpit.

It is a pleasure and privilege to be a part of the choir ministry.  Once again, the focus is on being worship leaders via music. We are blessed to have a superb ministry team whose words and presence encourage our walk of faith."

"I love HMUMC for its pastors, staff, and members.  HMUMC is family where I can grow spiritually and find support, and it gives me opportunities to serve and “give back.”

When we moved to this area, we visited many churches and decided that HMUMC was “our” church.  At HMUMC I have served on the Administrative Board and been an Annual Conference delegate, and I continue to participate in and/or to lead Grow Groups, Sunday School, and Life Groups."

"I love that HMUMC is a place where my young boys can come to know Jesus and be surrounded by people who love them. I serve as our finance chair and as one of the leaders of the Pantry.

I look forward to meeting new people with new ideas and input on helping our church and community thrive."

"What I love about the church is the people, my leaders, and the community that supports and uplifts everyone around them. I also love getting to learn about the lord! I am involved in the student min hospitality team and student min leadership team.

What I am looking forward to most as for serving on the board is to making the church grow, and making it the best it can be!"

"I’m currently serving as the chair of the Missions Committee and work with the leadership team for The Pantry and am a member of the Admin Council.  I have attended Mission Trips to neighboring communities, serve our Kids ministry when called on and have enjoyed serving as part of our church’s  Lay Leadership Team.

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 love the people, first and foremost, and the connections I have made with so many people in different areas of the church. I also love the fact my family, 5 generations attend HMUMC and are involved too. I work in the Roof Top on Sunday's as a leader of 4th/5th grade students and I help as co-leader with Traci, our Children's Director, for our 5th grade hang outs, twice a month during the school year.  I also co-lead the 9th grade girls small group on Wednesday nights and look forward to staying with these same girls until they graduate. I hope to keep our bond strong and to help them in their faith journey."

"People at HMUMC is like people of God. They are so welcoming, friendly and don't hesitate to embrace others. And HMUMC has been working so hard in approaching so many different communities. People can easily be involved and do different mission works through our church. I am actively involved in the Pantry ministry, Bridge Builder, and Desire Thy Portion. When possible, I am serving the Church as a substitute pianist for Children's choir, Memorial services, and the chancel choir practice. I am a member of a Sunday school bible study (the Way) and a life ground (the BASIC). I have been attending Monday Morning Bible Study led by Beverly and Harry Neville."
