Meet Our Pastor
Pastor Randy Sharp hails from Marion County, Illinois, and graduated from Patoka High School in 1970. He obtained his bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Illinois in 1974 and dedicated 44 years to a career with AT&T. In 1993, he became a certified lay speaker and has consistently contributed to various pulpits across central Illinois since that time. After attending licensing school in the summer of 2023, he was granted his official preaching license. Previously, he led congregations in Farmersville and Raymond and is now completing his second year at Warrensburg United Methodist Church.
Randy offers decades of experience alongside a passion for ministry and a strong dedication to supporting local churches. We look forward to him serving in Divernon and Pawnee, inviting you to join us for worship services or any number of our community events.
He will be supported by several certified laypeople from the community, including Bill Pflug and Sherri Clarke.
