Senior (Interim) Pastor: Cynthia Williams
It is important to me that the local church is safe, brave space for people to do inner work in community, so that we might be strengthened and equipped to be a reflection of Christ in the world. As a pastoral leader, I seek to be a non-anxious presence, bridge and connector who helps people to know who they “be” so that they can with courage know what they are called to “do” in the world.

Having the opportunity to work effectively with people in ministry from varied backgrounds gives me energy and passion-because I believe we are all made In God’s image, and we all have value and worth. In addition, working with laity around their hopes, dreams and visions for the church and its future, and seeing laity get excited about the mission and the ministries of the church give me energy and passion. I get excited about providing ministry which brings hope and healing to a world that desperately needs the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Senior (Interim) Pastor: Dan Johnson – dcjumc@gmail.com
The Church is the Body of Christ that heals us of that which cripples individually and collectively, nurtures our spiritual and behavioral growth, and fills us with such joy that our faith overflows in reaching new people. The Church is not a fixed location nor a stagnant institution, but a movement that invites belonging, engenders purpose, and engages us in building God’s “kin-dom” on earth.
Dan Johnson will serve BUMC starting June 30, 2024. This is an interim position focusing on the administrative aspects of the church.
