A Word From The Pastor
It's my pleasure to introduce you to Roscoe United Methodist Church. We are a vibrant and active congregation committed to drawing closer to God through Jesus Christ. It is our desire to create an authentic Christian community through worship, discipleship and mission.
It has been my joy to be the pastor of this congregation since July of 1999. I have pastored congregations throughout northern Illinois since 1984. I have degrees in music, theology and pastoral leadership. I received my doctorate from McCormick Theological Seminary in 1990. My wife Brenda and I have two sons, Jason and Josh.
Our Values
At Roscoe UMC we recognize the source and center of our lives together is the grace of God expressed through Jesus Christ; and we identify the following as key to our expression of Christian community:

- Being a community of love and support so that no one stands alone
- Excellence in Christian education
- Discovering and using our God given talents
- Interaction between generations
- Joyful worship in a variety of styles
