Howard United Methodist Ministers

[Mom70x7]

These are the most up-to-date records I can find.
Sometimes the entire tenure is listed, sometimes just when a change is made.
My assumption is that this is a "complete" list - that a minister stayed until a new one is listed.
If there are errors, then the church has it wrong.
Just let me know and we'll get it fixed.
