About Us:

We are made up of people old and young.  We have teachers, farmers, nurses, factory workers, lab workers, people who are retired, folks who work in eating establishments, and accountants.    Our Sunday morning worship service is a traditional format with some contemporary songs too. 

Clover Ridge has a rich heritage of people moving into trained ministry.  Clover Ridge UMC is proud to say we have had several people who were a part of our church and who went on to pastor a church.  Former members Bob Voels is Pastor at Freemont-Cedar UMC Parish in Iowa and Steve Callison was a Pastor at Mt. Auburn UMC in Iowa.  Diane Townsley, Pastor Mike's wife is Senior Pastor at Asbury United Methodist Church, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.   Terry Beltz is now pastor at Oxford UMC in Iowa.  And we have had 5 members who have completed the Iowa UMC School for lay ministry.     Marcus Beebe is a certified lay minister serving at Rochester UMC in Rochester,, Iowa.

Clover Ridge also has a Stephen Ministry Team. We are lead by Stephen leader Rick Heller.  Our active Stephen Ministers are:   Joanne Beltz, Sheryl Hein, Gay Mercer, Sally Williams and Pastor Mike.
