*******************************************
Greetings! My name is Pastor Elizabeth Bailey-Mitchell. I have been serving United Methodist churches for 25 years and most recently the UMC in Waterville, Maine. I am married to Harbour Mitchell III. He is an archaeologist and a retired United Methodist pastor. We have five adult children and three grandchildren, three of our children live in Maine, one in Vermont, and one in Washington DC.
I completed my undergraduate work at Ripon College in Ripon Wisconsin, with an English major/Religion minor, and completed my seminary studies at Bangor Theological School, in Bangor, Maine, prior to its closure in 2013. My hobbies include sewing, reading, and baking sourdough bread.
I’m eager to get to know you and join with you in exploring how God is calling us to be in ministry to our communities and the wider world, and share the vision of our denomination, to “love boldly, serve joyfully, and lead courageously!”
