WELCOME FROM THE PASTOR!
"Come Walk With Us!"
It is my joy and privilege to serve as the Senior Pastor of Church of the Master United Methodist! Since its founding in 1851 to serve the Otterbein Community, this congregation has been dedicated to creating a faith community that would connect head and heart faith, and would nurture the faith of students, faculty, and staff connected to the Otterbein campus as well as the surrounding Westerville community.
If you are looking for a church home, a place and a people with whom to worship, a community with which to explore your faith questions, a safe and loving place for your children to grow, a smile, and a warm welcome you will find it here! We are an inclusive community of faith that strives to serve God and our community with the love of Christ and where ALL are welcome, and ALL means ALL! We invite you to walk with us as we work to live out the lyrics to this Welcome song, one of many with which we begin our worship:
Let’s walk together for a while and ask where we begin to build a world where love can grow and hope can enter in, to be the hands of healing and to plant the seed of peace, singing welcome, welcome to this place. You’re invited to come and know God’s grace. All are welcome the love of God to share 'cause all of us are welcome here; all are welcome in this place. ("Welcome" by Mark A. Miller and Laurie Zelman, 2011.) May the welcome be warm and wide, always.
May the deep and abiding love of God abound in your heart and in the hearts of all. And may you experience that welcome here!
Grace and Peace,
Pastor Jay
