Signal Crest United Methodist Church is adding two new members to its pastoral staff: Beth Sullivan and Barry Kidwell. Though they come from different backgrounds, each contributes something unique to the church’s community.
While Sullivan’s role is largely educational, Kidwell is often out in the field ministering to at-risk urban populations.
Signal Crest United Methodist Church has two new members on its pastoral staff, Beth Sullivan, pictured, and Barry Kidwell.“Everybody kind of brings a different perspective,” Sullivan said, describing how the church’s administration works.
Sullivan, 29, has been involved in ministry for much of her life, helping out with whatever was needed at the church where she grew up, Hixson United Methodist Church.
She graduated from Hixson High School and got her undergraduate degree in finance and accounting from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
