Pastor Paul Elliott, Interim Minister

Hi, I’m Pastor Paul.
I was asked to write about myself for our webpage. You know, I find this very hard to do as we all change in our lives. But here it goes. I am a very loving and caring pastor who sees to all peoples. That means all are welcome to the church no matter what your background is. It also means all are welcome to the Lord’s Table.

I have served six regions of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) so I have been in many areas and served many different people. Oh, and don’t let the gray hair fool you. I think much younger than I look.

My hope is you will find this a home to grow your spirituality and find not only a welcoming hand but one that listens to you all and your needs.
Blessings,
Pastor Paul
