New Pastor Joins Jay United Methodist Church

July 20, 2014

Jay United Methodist Church has recently welcomed Rev. Ebb Hagan and family.

He is serving his first appointment in the Alabama-West Florida area after recently graduating from Princeton Theological  Seminary in Princeton, NJ. While at Princeton, Hagan was an assistant on the Dead Sea Scrolls project and was awarded an archaeological fellowship to work a dig in Bethsaida, Galilee, Israel and  research in Jerusalem.

Hagan grew up in Evergreen, AL, and is the son of the late Larry Hagan and Rebecca Hagan of Troy and Brundidge, AL. After graduating from Washington State University and spending the better part of the  last 20 years in Seattle, Hagan is looking forward to being home.

Hagan’s wife, Emily, grew up in Inchelium, WA, which is located in northeastern Washington state. She is also a graduate of Washington State University and is currently progressing through the Master of Divinity program at Asbury Theological Seminary. Upon graduation, she hopes to use her degree to serve as a  chaplain or pastoral counselor. She is the daughter of Stefan and Linda Mallory from Inchelium.

They are joined by their three children, Gaston, 10, Mallory, 8,  and Stefan, 6.
