Rev. Dale Gillis has been appointed to serve as pastor at Jamieson United Methodist Church. Dale and his wife Lorie have previously served congregations in the Richmond, Lynchburg, Tidewater, Charlottesville and Petersburg areas in their 25 years of ministry. Both are native Virginians. Dale is a graduate of James Madison University with a BA in psychology and he received his Master of Divinity from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. Lorie graduated from Old Dominion University in Norfolk with a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies. They both love music and look forward to participating in the music ministries at Jamieson. They are “semi-empty nesters” and have a daughter, Allyson who is a rising senior at Virginia Tech. Their son, Ryan lives in Richmond, teaches music in the Henrico County school system and is the father of the Gillis’ 3-year old grandson, Aidan. A yellow Lab Jake, rounds out the family.
As he examined the profile and perceived needs of Jamieson United Methodist Church, Rev. Gillis has concluded that God is at work in this appointment. He has a keen interest in practical evangelism. He has served as District Mission Coordinator and has led several “Volunteer in Mission” teams. He has helped establish community ecumenical relationships similar to what already exist in Clarksville. Since they have served “waterfront” appointments for the past 20 years, they feel right at home here on the lake.
Dale and Lorie are both excited to be in Clarksville and are looking forward to beginning another chapter in their ministry. The church and community welcome them.
