Blessings to you from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!  I am Rev. Paul Grossman, but you can always refer to me as Pastor Paul.  It is a joy to be serving you as the pastor at Redlands!  

Before coming to the Grand Valley, I served the good people at Community Federated Church in Thermopolis, Wyoming, and I also previously served as a lay pastor at Hope UMC in Greenwood Village, CO.  While originally from Ohio, I have come to love the stunning vistas and landscapes that dot our mountain states and Grand Junction certainly has no shortage of reminders of our God's beautiful handiwork.  

I attended college here in Colorado, graduating from Metropolitan State University in 2011 with a B.A. in history.  I met and married my wife, Caitlin, while in the Denver metro area.  I also attended the Iliff School of Theology in Denver, obtaining a Master of Divinity in 2020.  That same year, we welcomed our daughter, Sophie, to the family, and it has been a joy being her dad. Just recently, I became a fully ordained elder at the 2024 Annual Conference of the Mountain Sky Conference of the United Methodist Church. 

I am blessed to be able to be a blessing to all of you.  I hope to see you Sunday at either of our two worship services at 9 and 11 am.  I would love to connect with you outside of Sunday worship as well, so please feel free to reach out to me at pastor@redlandsumc.org, in the office at 970-245-1478, or my cellphone at 970-549-0952.  You are also more than welcome to drop by during the church's office hours each week for a chat or just to say hello!

May the love and grace of our God surround you always!"

Pastor Paul
