Fallston United Methodist Church

Staff

 
Rosalie Cummings - As Church Administrator of Fallston United Methodist Church, Rosalie's is the friendly voice you will most likely hear if you ever have the occasion to call the church office. In addition to fielding phone calls, she takes care of everything that comes through the church office, a formidable task. Having just celebrated 31 years of service to FUMC, she has the distinction of being the longest continually employed staff person. She has two married daughters and three grandchildren, enjoys doing jigsaw and word puzzles and loves collecting all things that are cat related. Even though she is not a member of FUMC she tells us that she has stayed so long because of the wonderful people in the congregation, many of whom have become good friends. She is pleased to be a part of all that is happening at FUMC!

Rick Fox - Rick has been with FUMC since 2008 as our Facilities Administrator.  He performs most repairs and maintenance around the Church, including safety checks and replacing filters, etc.  He is the one who keeps the building in working order - a challenging task.  He is a retired police officer and lives in Fallston with his wife and daughter. 



Ralph French - Ralph was born and raised in Harford County and has lived here all of his life. He retired from APG in 2004 after working there for over 36 years, and he has worked at FUMC for the last 4 years. He has a wife, two daughters and four grandchildren, who are the best gift anyone could have. He felt a calling to the custodial position when the facilities were being poorly managed, so he went to the pastor and inquired about the position. "I enjoy working at FUMC and take pride in our facilities and church family. Church family means a lot to me, and I am inspired by the many talents of our members who contribute to the community in so many ways."

Lisa Greenlund - Lisa's journey into Congregational Care began in 1993 when an Associate Pastor asked Lisa to join her, as a volunteer, in creating and establishing this ministry. Nine years later they had 21 active and necessary ministries under the congregational care umbrella. By this time she had also completed a two-year course from Wesley Seminary and became Certified in Congregational Care. With God's guidance and following His plan for her life, she knows that "bringing comfort to the hurting within our congregation and community is what I'm supposed to be doing. What a joy it is to love doing what God planned for my life."

Valeree Imperiale - Val came to Fallston Child Care Center as a summer volunteer when she was twelve years old. Twenty-five years later, she is honored to serve as Director of what she believes to be the best preschool in Harford County. She has truly grown up with this job, beginning as an aide and then progressing to teacher, Assistant Director, and Director. Often people ask her, "why would you want to be with children all day?" To which she replies, "Why would you want to do anything else?" When she is not at Fallston Child Care Center, she is very busy with her family. She was happy to recently welcome home her husband, Rino, from a two-year deployment in Afghanistan. Their kids, Anthony, Abbey, and RJ, keep them very busy at all times. "Every morning when I open the Center at 6:30 am, I know that I am blessed to be surrounded with the people who work, play, and worship at Fallston United Methodist Church."

Debby Lawrence - Debby has served as the treasurer at FUMC since January, 2007. As treasurer, she is responsible for the disbursement of all funds received into the church treasury as well as preparing and communicating financial reports to the Finance Committee and Church Council monthly. She is married with two teen-age boys and a Labrador Retriever. She enjoys watching her sons participate in their sports and music/theater activities, long walks, needlepoint, and reading. She can also be found volunteering with the Harford County Partners in Reading program as well as Fallston High School Boosters program.

 
 Fred Rheinhardt - As our Church Organist since September 1991, Fred plays for all church services and weddings and also accompanies our Chancel Choir.  He is retired from Baltimore County Public Schools and is now a teacher at a private school.

Paula Roberty - Paula joined the staff of Fallston United Methodist Church in January of 2010. Previously, she was employed thirty-two and one half years as a high school choral director. Paula holds Bachelors and Masters degrees in Music Education, and thirty credits beyond the Masters degree in Administration and Supervision. Paula was confirmed as a child in the Methodist church, and enjoys the opportunity to serve the people of the Fallston United Methodist Church as its Choir Director.

Jeannie Schick - Jeannie began working at FUMC as the Youth Director for 6th-12th graders in January of 1995. Her interactions with kids began early in life: "I babysat the neighbor kids every day after school. My first job with a real paycheck was as a lifeguard at a pool every summer." She is inspired by people who have found a way to work hard and make a living at what they love doing. This helps explain why one of her favorite bible passages is Philippians 4:13: "All things are possible through Him, who strengthens me." Her perfect day is characterized by being outside on a sunny, crisp fall day, preferably on horseback, with great people, then out to dinner in a quaint, country place, with a fireplace, finished off with a dessert of dark chocolate and crème brûlée. She loves Christ's acceptance of everyone. "I love His grace and understanding that allow Him to see through to the lovable part of all."

Nancy Skinner - Nancy assumed the responsibilities of Office Assistant for FUMC in November 2009. In this position she works closely with Rosalie, the Church Administrator, to assist with any of the various tasks that are handled by the church office on a daily basis. She married her husband Mike and moved to Harford County in 1994 and became a member of FUMC in 1995. When she is not at church, she keeps busy with her three children (two boys and a girl), and their school work and sport activities. You will also find Nancy volunteering in the church nursery on Sundays.

Deborah Sugg - Deborah has been a member of our congregation for many years and has taught Sunday School here for sixteen years. She was recently called to become the Director of Christian Education at FUMC. She is married to Dan and has two daughters, Hunter Lea and Bethany. She grew up in Fallston and is blessed to have extended families nearby. She has a bachelor's degree in graphic design and a masters degree in publications and media design. She enjoys photography, outdoor recreation and keeping active with Girl Scouts, sports and her family.
