Leadership

Brennan was appointed to be the Senior Pastor here in 2021.  Originally from Carlinville, IL, Brennan received his Bachelors degree from Greenville College and his Masters of Divinity from Duke University.  Brennan is married to Jenna, and they have two daughters, Caroline and Charlotte.  Brennan enjoys running, golfing, laughing, preaching, and reading, though not at the same time!

Sheryl is a long-time educator, growing up in many places as the daughter of an Airman.  She currently lives in Nokomis with her husband, Jeff, who is a United Methodist pastor.  Sheryl has a Master’s of Divinity from Asbury Theological Seminary.

I was a farmer’s daughter from September 1961 until my marriage to Tim in August of 1981, when I switched my designation to farmer’s wife.  We raised our four children on our farm west of Stonington and we’ve recently welcomed to the family a son in-law and a daughter in-law along with three fantastic grandchildren.   Tim and I enjoy hosting gatherings for our family and friends.    During my life I have worked at many great places and now I’m blessed to be the Administrative Professional (Church Secretary) to Stonington UMC.  My job is made especially enjoyable by the help and love of my wonderful church family and its clergy.
