Ministry is the opportunity for clergy and laity to work together in serving God with the best that we can offer. The church is the place to gather for worship, growth of personal and communal faith, and where each person’s faith continues to mature and stretch. In every appointment in my ministry the goal has been to include, encourage and enable each member of the church to reach their fullest potential as a United Methodist Christian.

Ministry is not a single person but the entire congregation working together, in harmony and in the joy of serving God. We are all, each one of us, vital to the ministry of our church.

Come and join the ministry team called The Rose Hill United Methodist Church. Come join your sisters and brothers in our ministry of serving God together.
