The Staff at Mount Vernon United Methodist Church are Here to Help and Lead

Joy Mitchell – Senior Pastor

Pastor Joy Mitchell joined the staff at the United Methodist Church of Mount Vernon on July 1, 2016. Joy previously served at First United Methodist Church of Indianola as the Associate Pastor from 2015 to 2016.

She graduated from Asbury Theological Seminary in May of 2015, with a Master of Divinity, and is a Provisional Elder in the Iowa Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church.

Before attending seminary she worked at Compassion International in Colorado Springs, CO. Ask her about Compassion sometime, she’d love to tell you more about it!

Joy is a graduate of William Woods University, and holds a Bachelor of Science in Equestrian Science. In her free time, she enjoys going for walks on local trails, spending time with her husband, crocheting, and exploring new outlets for her artistic side. She and her husband, Weston, enjoy living in Mount Vernon and all of the festivities this town has to offer. They enjoy sharing meals and playing games with friends. Weston is employed at ACT in Iowa City.
