Get to Know the Dedicated Team Behind Woodburn UMC

Karen Shimer
Pastor

I'm a half-time pastor with a full time heart for following Jesus.
I love weaving music, meaningful liturgy and prayers, and reflection on Scripture into each worship service. I find other group experiences like small group study, casual conversations over coffee, and even committee meetings offer meaningful opportunities to grow in the love and knowledge of God. I'd love to hear what draws your heart closer to God! Contact me through the church office and let's meet for coffee.

Rosemary Franceschini
Office Manager

Although I’m only officially in the office three days a week, my heart belongs to the Woodburn United Methodist Church. If you have any questions about our church, or need more information, please don’t hesitate to contact me!

Christopher Wicks
Music Director

As a “cradle United Methodist” who has also served Presbyterian, Lutheran, Disciples, and Episcopalian churches as organist and music director, it seems that Woodburn UMC is a good place to be. I strive for a variety of styles and genres as we sing to our Lord together.
