OCTOBER 24TH  – JEROME CHURCH’S 175TH ANNIVERSARY  -

Jerome Church Welcomes new pastor David Cady

           Whenever a new pastor comes to a new church, there is always a time of getting to know a little about them. Here are some things I want you to know: My name is David. My friends call me Dave. Those who prefer a deeper level of formality call me Pastor Dave and those who are into titles call me Dr. Cady. I answer to all of these, so feel free to choose what is most comfortable for you.

     My roots are in southeastern Ohio. I am the grandson of pottery workers and a superintendent of schools. My dad worked in insurance and my mom is a registered nurse. I am the youngest of four siblings and I like the Buckeyes, the Reds, the Cavs, and the Steelers. I am a big fan of Chipotle, I like to play golf, and I am on Facebook.

     I am married to a pastor’s wife (Amy) and am the father of three preacher’s kids (Bethany, Luke, and Clay). I am an elder in the West Ohio Conference of the United Methodist Church and have served for 15 years as the pastor of churches in Circleville and the Pataskala/Reynoldsburg area. I attended the Southern Ohio Emmaus Walk #14, sat at the Table of Philip, and some of you feel like clapping about right now. If you’re not involved with the Emmaus movement, you might be wondering what that means . . . be sure to ask me about it.

     But the main thing you need to know about me is that I am a follower of Christ  . have been for some 35 years now. For a long time I have lived with a growing understanding that God’s grace is so much more than I deserve and, when I live under His authority on my life, I have discovered that Christ can work in me in ways I never dreamed possible. My call to ministry is pretty simple . . . preach the word in season and out of season and make every effort to take as many people to heaven with me as possible.

     I am excited about the vast possibilities for profound Kingdom work that exist at Jerome. During the first several weeks as your new pastor, I want to encourage you to be around the church on Sunday mornings, as I will be spending time sharing my core values for the Christian life, for Christian ministry, and for the mission of the church. In addition, I hope to meet the majority of you in the cottage meetings that I will be scheduling later this summer so that I can hear what dreams and visions God has laid on your heart. If you wish to know more about me or want to help me learn more about you, feel free to contact me at  pastor@jeromechurch.org   or call the church office to schedule an appointment with me.

 Blessings,

 David
