Senior Pastor

How did you find yourself at Arbor?


A friend sent my name to the Search Committee thirty one years ago. After much prayer I accepted the call to Arbor and began my ministry on May 1, 1990. I have considered it a privilege to have served God in the same church for over thirty years.

FAVORITE SCRIPTURES: One of my favorite verses is in Psalm 33.4-5, “But I trust in you Lord; I say, You are my God. My times are in your hands.” Nothing happens in my life without God’s permission.


FAVORITE MOVIE: My favorite TV show is NCIS. I am in the process of collecting the DVD’s for all the seasons it has been on.



FAVORITE BOOKS: My favorite authors are Chuck Swindoll, Max Lucado, John MacArthur, D.A. Carson, and Mark Batterson. Each one of these writers spoke to me at a particular time in my life when I needed encouragement. They are all solid Biblical authors.

Amber Passmore  Children's Director

How did you find yourself at Arbor?

My husband Jamie grew up attending Arbor with his family and in 2007 we became members. I have always had a passion for working with children and found my self volunteering to help with any children's activities here at Arbor. In 2012 I was teaching at the Methodist Church Preschool. During the year I kept feeling lead to stop teaching and devote all my time to the children at Arbor. So I did! Little did I know I would become the Children's Director in the summer of 2013! God always has a plan, we just have to listen!
