The Pastor

Rev. Cathy Christman

Good morning Church!

My usual greeting for Sunday morning is a reminder for us to be the Church in the world – extending grace to all whom we meet in the name of Jesus Christ.  As a pastor, I feel this call on my life each and every day.  I am thrilled to meet you via this online platform, and would love to have the chance to greet you in person so that we may share in grace together.

I began serving in ministry as a student in seminary in the fall of 2005.  I received my first appointment in the summer of 2007 and served until 2016 in the Michigan Conference.  I moved with my family to Wisconsin in 2016, and have served here ever since.  My family, my spouse (Mike) and our dogs, and I have loved calling Wisconsin home.  We have witnessed God doing some wonderful things through the people called United Methodist here in the Wisconsin Conference.

When we are not at church, you will find us at the ball games – Brewers, Packers, Badgers and Bucks.  We love spending time with our niece and nephews.  We enjoy checking out local food places, and cooking together.

I look forward to getting to know you through the life and ministry of Baraboo First UMC.  Drop me a message anytime, prayer requests or just a word of hello:  pastor@barabooumc.org.

Peace,

Pastor Cathy
