Church Leaders and Staff
Pastor Michelle Whitlock
Welcome! My name is Michelle, and I joined the Nevada United Methodist Church team as Senior Pastor in July 2022! Our family has traveled the country, living in Illinois, Washington State, Missouri, and Michigan. Those experiences allow me to connect with many book, TV, or movie plots saying, "We've been there!" Missouri is now home.
I've spent the last nine years in church ministry and, before that, as a counselor in the Army, which is a different kind of ministry. I love creative cooking, American football, and music. But most importantly, I love serving Jesus and His Church! It’s a humbling experience to walk the journey with each other to grow a deeper relationship with God. I can’t wait for the opportunity to connect with you!
Blessings!
Pastor Michelle
