We have a new Associate Director! Nicholas Richart
NRUMC is thrilled to announce that Nicholas Richart will be joining our staff as the Associate Director of Youth Ministry beginning April 23rd, 2019. Nick is currently the Director of Youth Ministries at Central UMC in Shelby, NC where he has served for the past 3 years. Nick grew up in Mooresville, NC and attended Appalachian State University graduating in 2015 with a degree in Religious Studies and a minor in Recreation Management. In his spare time Nick enjoys picking the banjo, rock climbing, and reading comic books.
We hope you will join us in praying for this transition in our youth ministry and warmly welcoming nick to our staff and our church community! ALL YOUTH AND PARENTS are invited join us in "officially" welcoming Nick on Wednesday May 1 6:30-8:00! If you feel led to bring a gift for Nick, we encourage gift cards to local restaurants and shops so that he can try all the places you love!
Please check out the last blog post about our current ministry needs! It will take a while for Nick to get his bearings and we need your help going forward!
