Rocky Mountain Conference Appoints Woman As Head Pastor

Lee Lee (that’s really her name) Dart was appointed “Lead Pastor of The Adventure Seventh-day Adventist Church in Greeley.

In August 2015, Lee Lee Dart became RMC’s first female pastor for The Adventure, a 300-member congregation in Greeley.  As associate pastor then, she served as minister for discipleship, overseeing small group development, spiritual growth training, and mentorship for new and existing church members.  As minister for worship until 2015, Lee Lee Dart got to be known for her creativity in making worship services contemporary, and “most of all, Spirit-led,” as The Adventure former lead pastor Mitch Williams said.

Williams is pastoring a congregation in Pleasant Hill, California..

On May 13, she officially became the first female lead pastor in the Rocky Mountain Conference.

The RMC News Nuggets is using this as their top story in their May 19 newsletter.  They claim to be “making history.”

On Facebook they made the following post,

Lee Lee Dart Makes History as First Woman Lead Pastor in RMC » “This is a special day for you as we affirm Lee Lee as your lead pastor,” stated Craig Carr, RMC ministerial director in his introduction of Lee Lee Dart, who The Adventure Seventh-day Adventist Church in Greeley has known for the past six years.

Then he and the congregation surrounded Pastor Dart and prayed for her and her ministry.

“It’s wonderful to work not for God, but with God,” Pastor Carr added. “We are thankful to know Pastor Dart and her passion for Jesus, along with her passion for others to know Jesus.”
In August 2015, Lee Lee Dart became RMC’s first female pastor for The Adventure. Fulcrum.

Seems the Adventist Church has many sections, some that still hold that women should not be lead pastors leave alone pastors and those like this that, well it’s 2017 right? Wrong!
