Rev. Christine Doren, Pastor
Pastor Christine was born and raise outside Ligonier, PA. She recognized God’s call on her life at a large youth conference in 1992 and pursued her degree in Bible at Lancaster Bible College. She served on staff at Lancaster Alliance Church from 1999-2007 in the Student Ministries department and in 2007 she boarded a plane and served as a missionary in the Republic of Macedonia for 4 years. Upon returning to the states in 2011 she married Steve Doren. They resided in Latrobe and were active volunteers in a local church until God lead them to the United Methodist Church in 2014. She had her first appointment in Scottdale, PA and then moved to Stahlstown for 7 years. She moved to the Global Methodist in Feb. 2023 and God placed her at Hickory in July 2023. She and Steve are very excited to be in the Hermitage area. She has brought a great breath of fresh air to the church with the joy of the Lord and powerful preaching. Her love for Jesus is evident and she desires others to allow the Holy Spirit to do a work in their lives to know Jesus in the same way.
In her free time Pastor Christine loves to craft, and to cook and host people in their home. Together they love to travel and have fun. Quincy their Basset Hound and Hemingway their cat provide lots of entertainment as well.
She can hardly wait to see what God has in store for Hickory and the surrounding area!
