What to Expect
Leadership
Rev. Adonna Davis Reid
Senior Pastor
Rev. Reid Hails from Montclair, New Jersey where she grew up the younger of two daughters. From an early age, Rev. Reid was active in church. Her faith and church involvement helped sustain her on the campuses of Yale and Harvard, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree and Master of Business Administration, respectively. She also earned a Master of Divinity Degree from Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary in Evanston, Illinois, after which she was ordained an Elder in the United Methodist Church.
Her work has reflected her desire to see all of God's children thrive and achieve their God-given potential through worship and activities that provide opportunities for growth and development. A particular passion is seeing others come to faith and the transformation that brings as people grow as committed followers of Jesus. Rev. Reid relies on the power of prayer as the undergirding force in her ministry and life.
Rev. Reid is married to N. Neville Reid and the couple has five young adult children and one daughter in law.

What Members Say
Jeanie Marie Buss shared their experience Apr 2024
I am a lapsed Wesleyan United Methodist. I am selling the history and Minneapolis Lakers uniforms to the port area of Chicago, Illinois, to become an Nba expansion team, and the history and uniforms of the Kings of the Nhl, to become an expansion team in the Nhl. I will rename my Lakers the Lords of the Nba, and hire Rudy Gobert at center, to accompany Anthony Davis and LeBron, James, up front, and Jamal Murray in the backcourt, with others. And I will support another pair of Nba and Nhl expansion teams in the Brooklyn area. The Nfl may consider a similar two team expansion as well.
