< Back Rev. Dr. Randy Orndorff Lead Pastor Email: rorndorff@aldersgate.net Phone: (703) 765-6555 x602 I joined the Aldersgate UMC team in the summer of 2019. I have served two prior appointments at Riverton UMC and Culpeper UMC. Aldersgate is a wonderful church with lots of great missions, ministries, small groups, and great people who love God, each other, and their neighbors. ​ I enjoy meeting people and watching them grow in faith, mission, and ministry using their gifts and talents. I enjoy leadership training and development and helping to build teams where people work together collaboratively for good. I enjoy being part of mission work, spending time outdoors, and being with my family. I am married to Lee Anne, and we have 2 grown sons and 3 grandsons and an adopted granddaughter form India. We lost our daughter, Kelsey, in 2008 in a car accident. We enjoy traveling to adventurous places, hiking, and spending some quiet time at our little cottage on Gwynn’s Island on the Chesapeake Bay. I am so blessed to be serving here at Aldersgate with a great staff and Leadership team. Come join us and let’s grow together.

Most of the recipients are expecting the deliveries and express their gratitude. If you are interested or would like additional information, please contact Sam Sasnett at ssasnett@verizon.net . Those who volunteer to deliver the bagged lunches have shared that the people who receive the sack lunches are very appreciative, and that it is a blessing to those who deliver because they get to see the end results of all the planning and work that goes into the Phoenix Rising program.
