Our HistoryBy Jim Morris, Church Historian In 1960 a research study was done to find out the
need for an additional church on the east side of August 5, 1962 was ground breaking for the church
building which was completed and the first service held on April 7,
1963. By 1965 there were 212 members and we shared our ministry with In 1988, with the arrival of Pastor Norma Bailey we
stopped the dual charge with In 1998 a committee was formed to research the feasibility of a new sanctuary and converting the old sanctuary into a fellowship hall. Ground was broken on November 19, 2000. The first services in the new sanctuary were held on the weekend of November 17-18, 2001 with over 600 people attending. In 2008 Pastor Norma retired and Pastor Bill was selected as our new Pastor. We currently have a membership of 568 people with a weekly attendance of approximately 500. (November, 2008)

Get to know the many "sides" of Pastor Bill Green! The "Personal" Side I was born and raised in a suburb of New York City along with an older sister and a younger brother. My wife, Patti, and I have been married for twenty-seven years. We met through mutual friends when I was fifteen and have been best friends ever since. We currently share our home with two cats we adopted from the Humane Association. One of them is extremely friendly; the other would be in therapy for anger management if she were human. Having fallen in love with this area, we bought a house in Nanticoke ten years ago.
The "Professional" Side For ten years, I was a school teacher in the New York Metropolitan area. My most rewarding teaching experience was the four years I spent teaching middle school Social Studies at a Catholic School in a challenging urban setting. I used to tell people that I was a United Methodist, teaching in a Catholic School, where most of my students were Baptist or Pentecostal. The "Church" Side I was raised in the Reformed Church, where my father was very active. Every week, I went to Sunday school, and I can still recall many of the stories I heard, the songs I learned, and the teachers who gave their time and their talent. Like many in my generation however, I got "turned off' by church, finding it less and less relevant to the struggles and the questions I wrestled with in my own life and to the whirlwind of changes taking place in the world around me. I left church when I was fourteen and didn't return until I was almost thirty. Time and the Spirit continue to move however, and I found myself drawn back to the church. Patti and I became active in a local United Methodist Church, and, within a few short years, I began to sense a call to ministry. While continuing to teach, I attended evening classes at New York Theological Seminary, in Manhattan. In 1989, I entered the Student-Pastor Track program at Wesley Theological Seminary, and we left home to begin a new life on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I was appointed to serve the Nanticoke/Westside Charge during the four years I was at Wesley. Near the end of that period, the church decided they wanted a full-time pastor and were gracious enough to request that I continue my appointment there. I served an additional two years. I was ordained an elder in 1995 and appointed to serve as Associate Pastor at Trinity UM Church, in Salisbury. While I had some responsibilities involving preaching and worship, my primary areas of focus were teaching, pastoral care, missions, and the Jr. High UMYF. In 2000, we were on the move again as I began serving Richardson Park UM Church, which is located just outside the city limits of Wilmington, Delaware. It has been a blessing to serve with people who are very committed, involved, and energetic. I was especially pleased by the way people opened their doors and their hearts to people in the neighborhood, particularly the children and youth, many of whom are under cared for. In 2008 we returned to Salisbury as I started a new appointment as the pastor of "a church called Christ". Director of Administrative Services
