OUR PASTOR AND STAFF

Living the faith, hope, love and joy of Christ with everyone, everyday, everywhere. 
Pastor – Rev. Alison Skillman

Greetings friends! My name is Rev. Alison Skillman, and my pronouns are she/her. I was raised in Livingston, Montana where I discovered the United Methodist Church at the age of 9, thanks to a friend who invited me to youth group. I quickly got involved in the church, starting to feel a nudge towards pursuing ministry. In 2013, I graduated from Park High School in Livingston and went on to receive my Bachelor’s in Religious Studies at Montana State University. Go Cats go! During those four years of my undergrad, there was a lot of discernment in that time where I discovered my call to pastoral ministry. I graduated with my Master’s of Divinity from Iliff School of Theology in Denver in 2021. I began working at Shiloh UMC in July of 2022, so I am new here!

I am so excited to see how we can all cultivate a beloved community together!

Communications Coordinator – Alyssa Munson

Hi there!  My name is Alyssa Munson, and my pronouns are she/her. I grew up in Billings, MT and attended this church for as long as I can remember. I graduated from Gallatin College in May of 2022 with an Associate degree in Interior Design.

 

Growing up at Shiloh, I have been surrounded by so much love and care from all of the congregation members. To me, this church is like my second family. Everyone here has their own individual characteristics which help make this place feel like a home. I love being a part of the chime choir, helping with the youth, assisting with the tech team, and mowing the church lawn. In my free time, I like to crochet, paint, do a little dance, draw, bike, drink coffee and relax. You can find me around church wearing some fun earrings and carrying one of my many tote bags! I am happy to be a part of the team and can’t wait for the new steps we will make in this growing community.

Treasurer / Hospitality – Susan Hathaway

For several years, I have been Finance Chair and in 2020 became Shiloh UMC’s Treasurer.  I am a numbers person with an accounting and office management background backed up by a Business Administration Bachelor’s degree. Shiloh is the third church that I have served at as Treasurer, and I find it rewarding.

 

My spiritual journey started almost 70 years ago from sprinkle baptism, confirmation, teaching Sunday School, Walk to Emmaus, Prison Ministry and Lay Leadership training. I am a mother, grandmother, and as of 2020 a widow. Shiloh has become a special home to me with which my journey continues to be a blessing. Shiloh has become my extended family. I have found spiritual mentors and hope that I can be a mentor to others in their journey. The Finance/Stewardship Team, Shiloh Caregivers Support Group, Mission Team, Hospitality Team, Endowment Team and Trustee support are very special to me.
