My name is Rodney Dobbs and I am the pastor of Chapel by the Lake United Methodist Church in Munsonville. I became the pastor in Munsonville in November 2007. I am also serving as the pastor of the Hillsboro United Methodist Church and reside in Hillsboro. I have been in Hillsboro since July 2004. Previously, I served as pastor of the United Methodist Churches in Canaan, VT and Pittsburg NH for 6 years. I grew up in Ackerman, MS and graduated from college at Mississippi State University. After moving to New England in 1991, I earned a Master of Divinity degree from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Hamilton MA. My hobbies include reading, playing sports, hiking and having fun with my family.

My wife is Shelley and we have three wonderful children, Mason, Cashman and Brynn. Shelley hails from Leominster MA.

We at the Chapel by the Lake believe in the one living and true God who is the creator of all things and that salvation through Jesus Christ is available to all who trust Him. We believe that God calls us to reach out in love to each other, our greater community and the world.
