The far reaching ministries of Fall City UMC result from the outpouring of spiritual gifts among members and friends to the congregation. By virtue of our baptism into the ongoing life of Christ, we are all ministers!


Lee Carney Hartman, Pastor
I live in North Bend with my husband Rick, son J.T., and daughter Daisy. Thanks to Three Rivers Rescue we all enjoy the company of Nora, our sock-loving shepherd mix of a dog.

I love hiking the Cascades, listening to Twin Falls Middle School Jazz Band, and embracing each day’s adventures in Grace. My daughter’s dance recitals, the fruits of other people’s gardens, and real conversations satisfy my soul.

At Fall City UMC, what a tremendous gift it is to find oneself welcome and belonging in community - with all of our blessing and brokenness - experiencing and practicing love. The empowering way of Jesus Christ leads us, feeds us, and needs us!

(Education: Master of Transforming Spirituality (2005), Master of Divinity (2009), Seattle University School of Theology and Ministry.)

Jeff Newcomer, Youth Pastor
I live in Fall City with my wife Beth, son Tyler, and step kids Hayli and Stuart. We have a black lab named Kenai, two cats named Tiger and Felix, and three chickens whom do not have names (great for eggs however).

I have been a public school teacher for fourteen years and a wrestling coach for nine years. I will receive my Masters in Ministry in December 2011 from Northwest University. I enjoy hunting and fishing, reading, and most importantly spending time with my family.

I am so fortunate to be a part of the family here at Fall City Methodist. My vision, hopes, and prayers are for our youth to love and have a deep intimate relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ.
