| Rev. Kim Armentrout, Pastor |
| Hi! My name is Kim Armentrout and I am new to First UMC – brand new – I just started in July 2022. I am excited to be here and am energized by the ministries of this church. While I get to do lots of amazing things as a pastor, my favorite is helping people grow in their relationship with God. If you are looking for a church home, I hope that you will give First UMC a try. We would love to be your church home and I would be honored to be your pastor. When I am not busy pastoring, I enjoy reading, being outside, and spending time with my family. My husband, Darryl, works as a chaplain at Dayton Children’s Hospital, and he also works for the City of Dayton. Darryl and I have a daughter, Maya, who is 12, and we think she is the best! We like to go on family adventures as well as spending time at home.

| Mary Ellen Clinard, Worship Director |
| I am so happy to have been a part of this wonderful church family since 1995, and as Director of Worship since 2006. I look forward every day to creating elements of our worship services, playing the organ, directing the choir, and producing the First Friday @ First Methodist Concert Series. When I’m not at church, I enjoy playing piano for local theater productions, working in the yard, trying new recipes, and discovering the architecture in cities big and small. I have 2 sons, one who lives in Norwood, OH, and one who lives in my home state of Oklahoma. If you enjoy singing or playing an instrument, I would love to talk to you about our Music Ministry and how you can serve God with your gifts!

| Betsy Koval, Treasurer |
| I returned to Middletown (my hometown) in 2019 to retire. I am so fortunate to have found First United Methodist as my church family. In April of 2023, I became a part of the wonderful leadership of this church as the treasurer. I love singing in the choir, listening to music and spending time working with plants. I feel very lucky to have found a home and a church in the place I grew up. I look forward to getting to know you all.
