It is with gratitude and sadness that we announce the retirement of our beloved Pastor Wayne Mort, effective August 1, 2025.
Pastor Wayne has led Batavia First United Methodist Church with faith, wisdom and kindness since July 1, 2020. He has touched many lives through his inspiring Sunday morning services, teachings, counseling and community outreach. Under Pastor Wayne’s ministry at Batavia First, adult membership has grown and there has been a substantial increase in the number of children in the church.
We wish to express our deepest thanks to Pastor Wayne for his years of service and dedication to Batavia First, and we pray for his health, happiness and peace in this new chapter of his life.
The Lord bless you and keep you, Pastor Wayne.
The Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you;
the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.
(Numbers 6:24-26)
Our Mission and Vision
To be disciples we must listen, learn, lead and love our way to God.
