| Rev. E. Taveirne is Senior
Pastor at Fenton United Methodist Church. He is a graduate of North
Central College in Naperville, IL. His seminary education was at
Southern Methodist University's Perkins School of Theology. An
Illinois native, Pastor E has recently served as Senior Pastor
of Wheaton, Illinois' historic Gary Memorial United Methodist
church. During Pastor Taveirne's 11 year tenure there, Gary's local
ministry and wide-ranging global mission grew remarkably. His church
community with its unique staff model and its strong lay and
professional leadership, bore marks of faithfulness to Jesus' gospel
through its variegated worship alternatives, education, music, and
community/global outreach opportunities for spiritual growth and
development for all. He led Gary Memorial United Methodist Church through
its recent "Cornerstone of Faith" Building Program -an
award-winning $8.3 million dollar addition/renovation on their 1930
gothic structure.
Rev. Taveirne has taken seriously--and
literally--Jesus' admonition to take the gospel to the ends of the
earth. Having studied in Eastern Europe while in seminary, and
feeling profoundly indebted for wisdoms acquired there, in 1998,
through the UM Russia Initiative Program, he planted UM Christian
seeds where few would choose to go --in Russia's far northern White
Seaport city of Arkhangelsk where he has led numerous mission
teams in various humanitarian, orphanage-related projects.
Pastor Taveirne takes pride in the people of
his church community. He has been active on various boards and
agencies. He believes that Christian rootedness is both discovered
and lived out in the local church.
Pastor Taveirne is available in his office Tuesday through Saturday,
and at other times as needed for counseling and pastoral guidance. |
