Pastor of First United Methodist Church in Sullivan
Church Council Members
Dave and Kristi Sowers can be found pitching in all sorts of ways around the church. Dave is on the trustees. 
Lois Shuman (the really tall one in the picture) is a delight working with children. Lois is on the Nominations Committee. 
Beth and Jeff White work with our Praise Team singers and are long time members of the church. Jeff is on the Bridging Table. 
Bill and Yvonne Workman are often at the center of various fellowship and outreach programs. Bill chairs the Church Council and Yvonne is the Council secretary. 
Esther Nelson is the church receptionist–and calls the church her “happy place” 
Chip Hagen is a jack of all trades and master of…joy. Chip is on the trustees. 
Dennis Ozier is part of the men’s group and has both a serious side and a goofy side–not sure which one this is. Dennis is on the Staff Parish Relations Committee. 
Susan Connor is the Lay Leader and the president of the UWF–United Women of Faith. Without that group the church would be a mess. 
Kendall and Austin Brettshneider in a rare moment without Lucy and Beau. Kendall is chair of the Staff Parish Relations Committee. 
Erica Lehman at home–in one of her many happy moments. She is on the Staff Parish Relations Committee and the Nominations Committee. 
Jennifer and John Love. Jennifer is the church treasurer. 
Bob and Teresa Lane. Bob is a go-to guy for a variety of fix-it problems, from finances to building issues. Teresa is involved in church decorating, hospitality, and the trustees. 
Kat and Clark Pound. Kat is the Executive Administrator of the church, Clark is the church finance secretary. Both are on the Bridging Table. Ask them about their house. 
Bruce Hecht, on the church Bridging Table (coordinating all our ministry projects) and actively involved in mission work in Honduras. 
A very outdated picture of the Poe family: Alex and Trevor–who still look like this, and their kids–who don’t look anything like this anymore. Alex is the volunteer Children’s Director and Trevor is on the trustees.
