Pastors

Rev. Dr. Randy Orndorff

Lead Pastor randy@aldersgate.net

I’ve been blessed to serve only two Methodist churches so far, Riverton UMC for 15 years and Culpeper UMC for 17 years. I know the value of being in relationship with people over the long haul. Although I’m new to Aldersgate, I hope to develop the same relationships in mission and ministry here as I have in my previous appointments. My wife, Lee Anne, and I are excited to serve with you. My hobbies and many of Lee Anne’s include being outdoors, hiking, kayaking, fishing, playing softball, golfing, and gardening. We look forward to being with you to learn, grow, share, and be in mission and ministry together, sharing the love of Jesus with all.

Rev. Emily Moore-Diamond

Pastor emily@aldersgate.net

I was blessed to join the ministry team at Aldersgate on July 1, 2018. Having served in ministry for over twenty-five years, I was a resident chaplain at Mary Washington Hospital, pastor of Warsaw United Methodist Church, and a pastor and discipleship director at River Road United Methodist Church in Richmond. God has woven in me a little gentleness, wonder, compassion, and spunk. I like to start my days reading, running, writing, and being with my husband and stepson. Ministry is a joy, and my passion is sharing lived life, theology, and faith in a community. This community. Let’s get together for a run or a little coffee and conversation. And share God’s grace together.
