Lead Pastor

Rev. James Farmer.

Email: jfarmer@severnaparkumc.org

During the past year, Rev. Farmer has served on conference staff as a Discipler Guide in the Annapolis Southern Region and then as assistant to the bishop.  Pastor Farmer has been under appointment since 1983.  He received his seminary education at Wesley Seminary, Course of Study, and has a passion for leadership in the church, worship/preaching, and helping the church to develop its disciple making.

 Rev. Farmer is pleased to accept this appointment as he feels his call is to ministry in the local church despite the many talents he has brought to his administrative work with the conference.  He has experience serving both rural and suburban churches.  His appointments have included Tom's Creek/Trinity in Emmitsburg for eight years, Clinton UMC for six years and Trinity UMC in Prince Frederick for eight years.  Each of these churches experienced growth under his leadership. 

Pastor Farmer is a 2005 recipient of the Harry H. Denman Award for Evangelism presented by the Baltimore Washington Conference.   He was recognized because of his effectiveness in reaching people who join the church on profession of faith -- brand new members as distinct from those transferring from other congregations or denominations.
