CHANEY APPOINTED AS NEW PASTOR AT WEST BALTIMORE UMC
The Rev. William T. Chaney Jr. has been appointed as pastor of the West Baltimore United Methodist Church by resident Bishop John R. Schol of the Baltimore-Washington Conference. Rev. William T Chaney Jr began his pastoral duties at West Baltimore July 1. The church is located at 5130 Greenwich in Baltimore, on the city’s historic “40 West” corridor.
Rev. Chaney, a native of Cincinnati, Ohio, was formerly senior partner for Chaney and Associates, LLC a firm he created with his wife, to guide congregations through change and transformation.
A natural, dynamic speaker, William has also served churches in Georgia, Ohio and Maryland since 1990, prior to coming to Baltimore. William has a passion for youth which was demonstrated while he served The Youth Theological Initiative at Emory University , the Youth Hope Builders Academy at the Interdenominational Theological Center in Atlanta and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Frederick County. He has also been a featured speaker with Monster.com’s “Making it Count” program to provide students with templates for success in high school, college and beyond.
“My main objective at West Baltimore UMC will be to move the church into becoming a fruit-bearing, disciple-making, Acts 2 congregation,” said Pastor Chaney about his appointment. “I have a vision of a healthy, vibrant church that functions through team ministry to provide opportunities for people’s lives to be transformed. We will be a house of prayer for the entire community.”
Chaney is married to Rev. Michelle Holmes Chaney, and they have one daughter, Courtney Elizabeth. His educational background includes degrees in communication from the University of Cincinnati and Georgia State University. He obtained a Master of Divinity degree from Candler School of Theology, Emory University, in Georgia.
The Baltimore-Washington Conference of The United Methodist Church is comprised of 694 congregations with nearly 200,000 members. It is the home of Methodism in America, with the founding of the denomination at Lovely Lane Chapel in 1784.
