Pastor Kathy Mihoerck was appointed to Grace United Methodist Church as the Associate Pastor of Congregational Care and Senior Adult Ministries in June of 2010.  Kathy’s passion is caring for others, and she would be the first to tell you this is a gift–to serve God and do everything you love–all at the same time!  Kathy received the call into full time ministry in 2009.  She never looked back she just kept putting one foot in front of the other waiting to see where God would take her.  Since she received the call later in life, she chose the “Licensed Local Pastor” tract through the United Methodist Church.  She continues her Course of Study at the “Methodist Theological School in Ohio.”

Kathy married her husband Vince, in 2005; together, they have five children and six grandchildren.  A blended family was not something either Kathy or Vince had planned, but God had a different idea.  Several years after each of their spouses had died, Kathy was introduced to Vince and the rest is history!

Favorite Bible Verse:

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us form the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. – Romans 8:38-390
