Our History
Our Pastor:
Rev. Cherie Cobb and her husband Michael, moved to Meeker June 2021 to serve the people of Meeker UMC.
Cherie has a radiant smile and a heart for people. She’s a “story-teller,” so her messages are from the heart, bringing life changing application through God’s Word. She is a Christ-Centered pastor who came to faith late in her life. She didn’t grow up attending church as a little girl, nor as a Youth, but on occasion would attend with her family on Christmas and Easter! She comments about how God has a great sense of humor, calling her late into full-time ordained ministry. She has been a pastor of rural churches in Dolores and Dove Creek, Colorado and recently left moved from Salt Lake City area. They are over-joyed to be back in her native state and with the people of Meeker!! She truly has a passion for people and it shows.
Michael has always been a supporter of his wife’s calling and ministers right along side her with a variety of ways he serves God. Michael too came to faith late in life and they both came to faith in Durango attending the Methodist church. Michael has a passion for teaching the Gospel and for Men’s Groups and Apologetics. He brings his strong desire to share his faith with others. Michael also brings his vocal talents to the praise and worship and supports the tech and worship teams and our youth of this church.
They have a son, named Garrett who is attending school in Farmington, NM. As a family, they love skiing, fishing and being in the outdoors. Garrett and Michael also have a flare for theatre. God is good and their hearts overflow with that gratitude!
Pastor Cherie attended Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky with Master of Divinity and her under-grad degree was in business at the University of Northern Colorado. They also have two Labradors – Louie the black and Charlie the brown. They too like hiking the trails in Meeker and playing in the rivers!
They invite you to come and worship with us!
