Meet Our Team

 

Bill Burch, Pastor; An ordained elder of the United Methodist Church, Bill came as Pastor to Mountain View in June 2009. He and his wife, Leah, have two grown children, and other family living in the area. Bill is a native Georgian who grew up in the Methodist church, and has studied and graduated from Young Harris College, the University of Georgia, and Candler School of Theology.

Bill answered God’s call into the ministry in 1990 while working as Youth Director at Villa Rica UMC. He has served churches in Carrollton, Atlanta, Cumming and Augusta before coming to Cobb County. He is glad to be here at Mountain View, and to be part of what God is doing: That people will come to know Christ and to make him known to others!

 

Jackie Short, Associate Pastor; Jackie holds a BS degree in Education from Texas Christian University. For 30 years she lived her dream working as a professional actress, singer, and dancer. But, God called her into ministry, and in 2007 entered Asbury Theological Seminary and will finish her studies at Candler in 2012.  Jackie has an identical twin sister who is an ordained elder of the United Methodist Church in Western North Carolina.
