• Meet Our New Paster, Rev. Dr. Dennis Swineford

    . A native of Indiana, Pennsylvania, Dennis was baptized into the fellowship of Grace UnitedMethodist Church as in infant. Through the nurture of that congregation, he came to embrace
    the call of Jesus Christ, first to a life of personal discipleship, and later, to a call to full time
    pastoral ministry. Ordained a Deacon in 1981 and an Elder in 1984, he holds a BA from Asbury
    College, an M.Div. from Asbury Theological Seminary and a D.Min. from Pittsburgh Theological
    Seminary in Stewardship Studies. This year he is retiring after 43 years of service as an
    ordained minister in the Western Pennsylvania Annual Conference. He has served rural, urban
    and suburban congregations beginning with the Titusville Bethel Charge, Sharpsburg and
    Millvale, Cabot, Bradford First, and Bakerstown. In 2018, he was appointed as District
    Superintendent of the Erie Meadville District. He served as the Spiritual Formation
    Director of the Cabinet.
    Throughout his ministry, Dennis has focused upon pastoral care, preaching, and congregational
    vision and mission development. He has also been active in various community organizations in
    the places where he has served including, Volunteer Fire departments, Rotary Clubs, and local
    Ministerial Associations.
