2022 Lay Leadership and Staff

Meet Pastor Paul Messmer

Hello,

I am very excited and so looking forward to serving as your Pastor in Holcombe, Jim Falls, and Anson churches! I have been pastor at Rockland U.M.C. for the past 2 years while driving a truck. I have been driving semi for over 36 years. GOD has laid it on my heart to become a full-time pastor.

My wife’s name is Mary and between the two of us, we have 5 grown children: 3 girls, 2 boys, and twin 3-year-old granddaughters. We love the outdoors and seeing new things and, as I say that, we love to look at antiques and buy a few. I am attending a course of study and enjoying it. Mary plays guitar and she and I enjoy singing. I don’t have much of an inside voice and my email address, “biglaugh”, gives you a hint!!

I am looking forward to getting to know you all and reaching out to the communities we all live in. As disciples of GOD, that is what we are called to do. We journey daily and need to listen and follow where GOD is leading us. GOD has led me here to reach out and tell how GOD plays a part in our lives daily. This is a little background on me and my family and what you can expect to hear Sunday mornings. GOD is good all the time, all the time GOD is good! Thank you for giving me this opportunity to serve and grow with you.

Love and Laughter

Pastor Paul+

Our Administrative Assistant; Faye Helland

Hello, I was born and raised in Holcombe Wi, I attended school there growing up. Afterwards I received my B.A. in Criminal Justice at the UW-Eau Claire. Following my undergrad I went on to pursue a career as an attorney and attended law school in Michigan. After law school I worked in Family Law for about 3 years in the Chippewa County area. I loved what I did, but we started a family and I love them more. I am currently a stay at home mom running a small business with my 2 babies. I am happy to be able to bring them in with me as I serve the church in the office duties. That being said, If you have some crinkles or colored pictures on some of your bulletins, you can blame my assistant. She is almost 3 so she doesn't take criticism very well, but be my guest.
