Rev. Tim Barton
I'm a United Methodist Pastor who loves to teach people how to read their Bible, how to find themselves in God's Story, and how to use both of those skills to make tangible change in this world.
I graduated from Asbury Theological Seminary where I focused on Biblical Hebrew and the Pentateuch + Joshua. I believe that the Bible is one story that leads to Jesus and that all people invited to to drink from the deep well of that story, find themselves at Christ's table, and feast on his abounding love forever.
