This June 2010, Carroll FUMC welcomed the Bailey family.  A native of Minburn, Iowa, most recently Pastor Dennis Bailey pastored at Independence, First UM Church (1997-2010).  He along with his wife Nancy have three married sons one who ministers in NE at this time.  Born into a farming family, Pastor Bailey went on to earn his undergrad in Religion at Simpson College (IA) then attended Perkins Seminary in Texas.  First appointment was at Charter Oak-Ute-Deloit in 1978 with his Elder ordainment in 1981.
 
Typically in the office Tuesday-Friday 8:30 a.m. - Noon and on visitations at least three afternoons a week, unless called away.  When not out calling can be found in the office (including Saturdays).  Intends to take Mondays off, appreciate the church family helping honor this day of rest.  If emergency arises then please call him on his cell.  In fact, during the week if any needs arise, surgery/birth/death/etc, please contact Pastor Bailey or let the church know (rather hear the news multiple times than not at all).   Need to talk?  Contact him so he might pray with you.  Or join him Sundays 10 minutes prior to worship for prayer.
