The congregation at Rainsboro United Methodist Church is pleased to announce their new Pastor, Kevin Dotts, who began preaching on June 27, during the 9:30 a.m. service.

Pastor Dotts will also serve Marshall United Methodist Church, with services at 11 a.m.

Pastor Kevin Israel Dotts was born in the Hocking Hills region of Ohio on Nov. 3, 1971. In his early teens, his family moved back to northwestern Ohio, where his parents were from, but he never lost his love for beautiful southern Ohio.

Dotts came to faith in Jesus Christ when he was 23 years old and began attending a small United Methodist Church, where he first felt the call into ministry. In 2004, Dotts answered the call to pastoral ministry and in 2005 began serving as a licensed local pastor at Kansas and St. Paul United Methodist Churches, a two-point charge in northwestern Ohio.

In 2010, Dotts graduated from the University of Findlay with a BA in religious studies and a minor in psychology. In that same year, he was reappointed to South Point UMC along the beautiful Ohio River.

Dotts graduated in May 2015 from Asbury Theological Seminary with his Master of Divinity and was commissioned as a provisional elder on track for ordination at this year’s West Ohio Annual Conference.

Dotts is married, and his wife, Michelle, is currently pursuing her master’s degree in history at Marshall University. Kevin and Michelle have a son, Dorion, who is married to his wife Kaitlin. The newlyweds are expecting their first child in July. They also have an unofficial, but dearly loved daughter named Lucy and two foster babies named Faith and Mattison. Pastor Dotts and his family love the Lord and love serving God’s people.

Rainsboro United Methodist Church is located at 7579 state Route 753, at the corners of state Route 50 and 753 in Rainsboro. Marshall United Methodist Church is located at 10968 state Route 124 in Marshall.

The public is invited to attend church services at Rainsboro or Marshall UMC – come as you are and bring your family and friends.
