Administrative Assistant

That's not surprising, as the wife of our current pastor. Lynne brings a "can do" attitude and is always willing to help whenever and wherever she can.

Minister
Rev. Kerry O'Brien
Reverend Kerry O’Brien has been a minister since 1997. As a “second career” pastor, he has over 20 years of experience in the business world before going to seminary and becoming an ordained Elder in The United Methodist Church. He graduated from Garret-Evangelical Theological Seminary in 2003, and began his first full time appointment right afterwards, in Elkhart, IN. He was ordained in The United Methodist Church in 2006.
Pastor Kerry has served Indiana churches in Roselawn, Elkhart (Trinity), Kokomo (Main Street), Plymouth (Trinity), Richmond (Central), and most recently at Grace UMC in Rochester. He was born and raised in Hammond, IN.
Pastor Kerry has been married to his wife, Lynne, for 42 years. They have two children, a daughter-in-law, and six grandchildren. All of them now live in the greater Indianapolis area, which makes Pastor Kerry and Lynne very happy to live so much closer to them.
Joy, integrity, energy, care, humor, and an abiding relationship with Jesus Christ are among the many gifts Pastor Kerry brings to his ministry. He loves children, very young to very old! He welcomes everyone who wishes to sincerely worship and praise God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to Mohawk UMC.
