Meet the Team

Rev. Amy Beth Coleman

Lead Pastor I have lived in Virginia for the past thirty years. Prior to becoming ordained in the United Methodist Church, I taught for ten years in public schools. In addition to a teaching degree, I have a Master’s in Educational Leadership from Radford University. For my Master of Divinity Degree, I attended Duke Divinity School and graduated in 2007. I have served United Methodist churches since 2003 in a variety of contexts – rural, urban, and suburban. I have one adult daughter, Katey Beth, and one spoiled cat, Josey Grey. When I am not pastoring, I enjoy outdoor activities and reading. Since I am originally from Ohio, I am also an avid Buckeye fan. I am passionate about sharing the love and grace of God with ALL people. Life Verse: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23.6. Pastor Amy Beth can be reached at (202) 630-9547

Rev. Jan Phillips

Associate Pastor

Having been raised in a Christian home, I came to a personal relationship with Christ at a young age. My father encouraged me to share my story with anyone who would stop and listen, which sparked an evangelistic spirit within me. While in college, I had the wonderful opportunity to travel the U.S. on two ministry teams. Upon graduating with a B.S. in Performance Studies with a minor in theology, I began working at Saint Andrew UMC as the assistant music minister. During my tenure at Saint Andrew, I transitioned into the role of Director of Worship and earned a M.A. in music and conducting. God then called me into pastoral ministry to which I earned an M.Div from Wesley Theological Seminary, with a specialization in religion and the arts. Being a native of New Jersey, I greatly enjoy the Jersey shore and love wake boarding and boardwalk pizza. Pastor Jan (202) 630-5981
