Lead Pastor
Kevin Gingerich
Pastor Kevin was appointed to the Sheldon UMC in June of 2013. Kevin has a passion for Jesus, and he brings enthusiasm toward serving. When thinking about his role as pastor, Kevin often thinks of himself as a cheerleader, encouraging others to be in love with Jesus and involved in serving others in some way. His favorite scripture is John 13. Kevin truly loves children of all ages, and he has the goal of bringing more of God’s children home and helping them to walk with the Lord.
Kevin was united in marriage on June 11, 1983, to Susan. They are parents of five, with a growing number of in-laws and grandchildren. Kevin attended college at Iowa Wesleyan in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, and received a Master of Divinity degree from Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado. He began his full time pastoral ministry in the United Methodist Church in Iowa in June of 1987, ordained as a full elder in 1990. He was ordained as a deacon in 1985, serving in ministry as an intern at Hugoton Kansas for a couple of years. In his spare time Kevin loves to be at sporting events, and you will find him at the Frisbee Golf course many afternoons.

Rosa Koerselman
Rosa Koerselman is the administrative assistant/secretary. She is married to Heath since April of 2012 and they have three kids: Vanessa, Carter, and Aubrie. We have three dogs and several inside cats. I love to be the welcoming face you see as you enter the church and the voice you hear as you call. In my free time I am a busy mom running kids to sports and different activities. In the few spare free minutes I have, I enjoy watching movies, doing devotions, putting puzzles together, playing board games, and just relaxing at home. I look forward to serving you for many years to come!
