If you are from Stanton, Kentucky and have found this site, there’s a good chance that you are part of Shiloh United Methodist Church. If that’s the case, there’s also a chance that you found my little corner of the Internet because you want to know more about your new pastor. So, I say to you: Hello!
My name is Jonathan Tullos and I have been appointed to Shiloh as your new pastor. My wife (Jessica) and I are excited to be joining you all in ministry. Our first Sunday will be June 28th and we plan to move into the parsonage on June 23rd.
Jessica and I are both native Mississippians. This weekend I am graduating with a Bachelor’s in religion from Liberty University and we are moving to Kentucky so that I can pursue studies at Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore. Currently I serve Oak Grove United Methodist Church just outside of Meridian, Mississippi and I’m also a paramedic at the local ambulance service. Jessica is a high school science teacher and will soon be finishing her Master’s degree in biology at Mississippi State University.
Again, we are excited to be joining you all and I look forward to being your pastor. There will be opportunities for us to get to know one another once we get to Stanton and get settled. As we prepare to move, know that we are already praying for all of you as you enter this time of transition. We are also praying for a smooth transition for your current pastor, Derek, and his family as well.
We will see you soon! In the mean time, please feel free to send me a friend request on Facebook and/or follow me on Twitter. May God bless you and keep you all.
Jonathan

Pastor Tullos and Jessica, welcome! My name is Susan Holliday. I sing in the Choir (not all that well, but they accept me anyway!), am the Finance Committee Chairperson, and lead the discussion at our weekly Women’s Bible Study. I am most excited to meet you both! Jessica, the Women’s Bible Study meets every Monday night at 6:00. We take turns hosting it at each others’ houses, and someone provides dinner. I would love to pick you up at the Parsonage on Monday, June 29 and drive you to wherever the Study is being held. Would you like that? We are currently studying “Fasting” by Jentezen Franklin. By June 29 we will probably be on Chapter 11. It is not necessary for you to buy the book. You can share with someone else each night. The way I lead the study, we read many passages from the Chapter, and then discuss different points. So, you can just join us where we are in the book. Much love in advance of your arrival, and prayers for the transition!

P.S. Jessica, if you will provide me with your email address, I’ll add it to my distribution list.
I will pass this along to Jessica. Thank you very much and we are looking forward to meeting you as well!
