Rev. Stan Copeland has announced his plans to retire as senior pastor of Lovers Lane United Methodist Church in 2025. The Staff Parish Relations Committee has assembled a Succession Seam to work with Jim Ozier, our consultant with Church Difference Makers, to find and recruit our next senior pastor. Stan and the Succession team will make regular reports to the congregation to keep you up-to-date on the progress of this important change in the life of our church. These reports will be stored here for your future reference.
