Rev. Tish Green

Lead Pastor of First United Methodist Church - Festus/Crystal City

  • Friend Pastor Tish!

Pastor Tish was ordained an Elder in the United Methodist Church in 2019. She earned her Master of Divinity from Eden Theological Seminary in 2016, holds a Bachelor of Music Education from Southeast Missouri State University, and is currently pursuing her Doctor of Ministry at Duke Divinity School. Pastor Tish was appointed here in 2017 from The Connection, a United Methodist Church that she started in South St. Louis City in 2008. She excels at inviting people into relationship with God through Jesus Christ, creating opportunities for people to experience God in their daily lives, and empowering the church for ministry in the world.

 

Pastor Tish is a graduate of Festus High School (you may remember her as Tish Laiben) and is married to James Green, a Herculaneum graduate. Their son, Levi, attends Festus Schools, is active with our Youth Group and can often be spotted filling in on drums with our modern worship band.

 

Pastor Tish is excited for the opportunity to be in ministry in her hometown with a church of such history and high standing in the community. She and her family are enjoying connecting with the congregation and community.
