Rev. Jenny Wilson
Hello Friends,
Thanks for checking out the staff page at Oxford United Methodist Church. I am excited to be the pastor here. Our beautiful church building is part of the long-time history of Oxford. Our call to make disciples is as old as scripture, and yet our ministries and missions are compelling and responsive to our 21st century context. Our worship is vibrant. We hope you will come and share in all that God is doing in this place.
If you have questions we hope you will contact us.

Grace and Peace to you,
Pastor Jenny Wilson
