Our Church Leadership

Our Church thrives because of the energy and style of the people who are a part of our leadership. Here are a few of the people that make our church community special:

Pastor

Donald Plock

Bishop Sally Dyck and the NIC cabinet are pleased to make the pastoral assignment of Donald Plock to the German Valley and Winnebago United Methodist Churches effective 7/1/2016 for the following missional reasons:

Deep and abiding personal faith in Christ

Experience in preaching

Familiarity with the pastoral needs of the two churches

Music

German Valley United Methodist Church loves music and loves to sing.  You will hear first time visitors express that fact after worship.  Our musical team is a talented bunch and we love hearing them and worshipping with thier direction and guidence.

Debbie Daws – Musical Accompanist

Debbie took piano and organ lessons offered by this church as a youngster. And even now as a wife, mother and school teacher she plays the organ and piano for her home church at least once a month. We thank her for sharing her talents over the years.

Ronald Plock – Choir Director

Ron, as he prefers to be called, has been the choir director at German Valley United Methodist Church since it was restarted nearly twenty years ago. Ron graduated with a music degree in vocal music education from Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois. His talent as a director is his ability to make reading music and following his direction simple and not intimidating to those less talented or new to singing with a group. We appreciate his time spent in leading our adult choir and lately adding the children in some combined numbers. Ron is a husband, father and grandfather who loves his family, his church and most of all loves God.
