  • Sharon Waters

    Pastor

    The Reverend Sharon Waters will be joining UHUMC as its newest full time Pastor on June 24th.  


    I am in my twentieth year of ministry which began as a student pastor while I attended seminary at Emory from 1998 through 2001. I married in 1981 to Bruce Waters and was widowed in 2011. I have three adult children— Son, Ian, age 33, lives in Los Angeles, Ca. Daughter, Camille, age 31, lives in San Antonio, Tx with her daughter Ellen, age 9. Son Charles (Chas) age 26, also lives in San Antonio, Tx. 


    I grew up in Louisiana and that is where our children were born. We became a parsonage family in Georgia where they fell in love with church lady food. The kids are all reasonably well educated and are making their way in the world. We do try to see each other as often as possible. You will enjoy meeting my clever and comely granddaughter in July when she comes to visit. I believe that she will be a great icebreaker as we get to know each other.


    I was a speech language pathologist in my first career and I have a great passion for language, literacy, and child development. I believe that this translates very well to nurturing a faith community that values teaching and passing on the language of our faith. My favorite scripture is Micah 6:8. My favorite part of worship is communion. My favorite food is tex mex. I expect that one day, some years down the road still, I will retire in Texas to be near my family. But, until that time I am excited to be living out my call to ministry in the North Georgia Conference. I love Methodism, I love her people, and mostly, I love Jesus. I have much enthusiasm for the work ahead of us at University Heights. You are in my prayers and I trust that you are praying for me during this transition. 


    Shalom! 

    Sharon
