About Our Pastors
Pastor Angela Rotherham
Rev. Angela Rotherham graduated with honors from Mount Holyoke College in 1998. Since 1999 she has chosen to live and work in Maine performing a wide variety of jobs before answering her call to ministry. She received a Master of Divinity from Bangor Theological Seminary in 2011. She served one year as a student pastor at the Hampden Highlands UMC, served the Orono UMC for a year as their Sunday School Superintendent, started her first appointment as a Local Pastor in 2010 at Corinna UMC, was commissioned and appointed to Peaks Island from 2012-2019, and was serving the Wayne Community Church when called to Green Street and the River Churches Cooperative Parish. Her husband Dan, is from England and is a driver and warehouse worker for a car-part distribution company. They have two cats, Penny & Jinx, whom they adore as their fur babies.
Pastor Angela writes “I am excited about this appointment to the River Churches Cooperative Parish because it has the potential of helping us all return to our Methodist roots. At one time, the local church belonged to the community and the people who lived there; a pillar in the community that everyone knew they could lean on when times were tough and a place to celebrate life’s precious milestones. Together we will get to define what it means to flourish, to have vital and healthy ministries, and to connect with a vision of being part of Christ’s ONE body.”
