BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON CONFERENCE
“TO INSPIRE AND EQUIP LOCAL FAITH COMMUNITIES TO DEVELOP DISCIPLES OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE WORLD."
The staff parish relations committee is responsible for personnel concerns within the congregation. It is my joy to share with you today that Bishop LaTrelle Easterling has appointed Rev. Dr. Melissa Rudolph, Rev. John Rudolph, and Rev. Jerry Gautcher as the new pastors of the North Carroll Cooperative Parish as it is extended from Grace, Greenmount, and St. John’s to include, Emory, Millers and Bixlers UMCs. The pastoral team will begin their new responsibilities on July 1 of this year.
As a United Methodist Church we are a part of an appointment system. Our congregation’s staff parish relations committee has met with the district superintendent to identify our congregation’s needs and the needed skills in a pastor. We have also met with Pastors Melissa, John, and Jerry to get to know them and to ask Questions.
Pastor Melissa continues as the lead pastor and is responsible for administrative concerns and worship planning. Pastor John will oversee the Youth and Kids teams, NCCP sports, and missional strategy. Pastor Jerry comes to us from Deer Park UMC in Reisterstown and will be with us as he lays aside his 40-year career as a carpenter to serve full time. He will be responsible for the Caring Parish team and will organize and equip pastoral care and outreach programs. All three will be part of the preaching rotation and will be available for spiritual needs.
Our new pastors will work with us and the conference so that we continue to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. We are excited to welcome Emory, Millers, and Bixlers, and Pastor Jerry to NCCP!
