Meet The Pastor

---

I must confess I often poke humor at myself! Please, don’t think you have to dress up! Come as you are! Come and be greeted as a member of our family. Come and discover the wonderful possibilities for your life. I know I will look forward to meeting you. It has been my pleasure and privilege to serve as pastor of the Moore Haven First United Methodist Church since the fall of 2021.

 I have served churches in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois for over 50 years. I am married to JoAnne Baird and live with her and four cats and a dog. Our three children live Minnesota with their families. I am the proud grandpa to three beautiful and brilliant granddaughters. Please call me to find a time we get acquainted. 

Yours in Christ’s service,  

Pastor Gary Gottfried
