 Pastor Charlie comes to us after serving nine years in Bayville. While there, he united two churches into a new congregation, Faith Community. Prior to his time in Bayville, he served churches in Atco and Tansboro.He has a passion for church growth and believes that this can best be done beyond the walls of the sanctuary on Sunday morning. We need to be striving to make a difference in people’s lives for Christ through mission, fellowship, and small groups. Each of these opens the door for us to share our faith with others. Charlie attended Princeton Theological Seminary from which he graduated in 2001. He was ordained at the 2004 Greater New Jersey Annual Conference in Atlantic City. Prior to becoming a pastor, Charlie served the church as a local and certified lay speaker. He was the Lay Leader at his home church in Medford where he also served as a member of SPR and the council of ministries. He worked for 24 years in the printing industry at various jobs including human resources, production management and as plant manager. In July 2010 Diane and Charlie celebrate thirty years of marriage. They have two wonderful children. Sheldon lives in Marlton. Alycia resides in Lancaster, PA. Pastor Charlie and Diane are excited about sharing their ministry with the people of Epworth UMC and the triboro area.  Whether by phone or in person, you will always feel welcome when you contact the Epworth office. Diane Dunn is one of those special people with an easy smile and a genuinely friendly personality. She always seems to have time for you, and still completes the myriad of tasks and jobs that demand her attention. Diane has been in our area for most of her life; growing up in Cinnaminson. She attended Epworth Sunday School as a child, and was confirmed and married here as well. She and her husband Rick now live in Pennsauken and have three daughters; Dana, Amanda, and Christine. The family loves the Jersey shore and their Wildwood Crest beach home. Diane is attached to her two dogs, but also enjoys reading a good mystery novel. She also hopes one day to find the time to return to drawing and painting, which got lost somewhere in the past.
