Church Leadership




Leading faithfully. Serving together. Staying accountable.

At Pierre First United Methodist Church, leadership is a shared responsibility. Our pastors, staff, and lay leaders work together to help our congregation live into its mission, care for the resources entrusted to us, and discern where God is calling us next.

Our Leadership Council brings together those serving in key areas of church leadership, including Facilities, Budget & Finance, and Staff-Parish Relations (SPRC). Together, they help provide direction, accountability, and faithful stewardship for the life and ministry of our church.

We also believe healthy church leadership requires openness and transparency. This page is designed to make it easier for our congregation to know what is happening and stay connected. Here you'll find our current leadership roster, upcoming meeting information, meeting minutes, financial statements, FAQs, and other resources related to the decisions and conversations shaping our shared ministry.

Have a question, concern, or idea? We want to hear it. Our leaders are here to listen, answer questions, and work alongside our congregation as we seek to faithfully serve Christ and our community together.

Stay Informed. Stay Connected. Be Part of the Conversation.
