Senior Pastor of First United Methodist Morristown, TN
I am originally a Virginia girl. I grew up in a small Appalachian community called Pearisburg (near VA Tech). I loved being a part of my home church, Pearisburg First United Methodist, and served there as a child and youth as much as I possibly could. After graduating high school I attended Emory & Henry College and then I headed to Candler School of Theology at Emory University for seminary.
My first appointment was as the associate pastor at Maryville FUMC, working with youth and young adults. While I was there Brian and I got married. With our marriage I also gained his son, Ethan. From Maryville we moved to Vonore, TN to serve the Bethel-Vonore Charge. Our other household members are our Shetland Sheep dogs, Jack and Yoshi.
We are entertainment nerds. We love comic book stories, Star Wars, Disney, and other great stories. We also enjoy traveling when our schedules allow for it.
I am so delighted to be beginning my 9th year of ministry, and my 9th year as a Tennessean, at FUMC Morristown. I can’t wait to learn with you and from you and to see how God will work through all of us to transform the world. You can contact me via email – asa@fumcmorristown.org
