In July 2007, our congregation welcomed our new minister, Pastor Rob Licht, into the pulpit. Rob came to us from Mount Sylvan UMC in Durham, NC, where he served as Associate Pastor for the past two years.
Rob is originally from Hagerstown, MD where his twin brother and parents still reside. He recieved his Bachelor of Arts Degree, majoring in History and Religion, from Randolph-Macon College located in Ashland, Va graduating Summa Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa. While at Randolph-Macon, Rob completed an Honors Thesis on the role of the Virgin Mary in Protestant and Catholic theology. He received his Master of Divinity Degree from the Divinity School of Duke University in 2003.
His areas of academic interest are focused on spiritual formation and how the spiritual life relates to the church's liturgy and worship practices. Rob's outside interests include music, reading, and gardening.
