About our Pastors
Rev. Angela Rotherham
Angela Rotherham grew up as an Air Force brat but with deep roots in Maine. Her father’s family can trace their roots to German immigrants who helped to settle Waldoboro and her mother’s family came over on the Mayflower (but quickly moved north!). Both her parents grew up in the Bangor area. For a few years they were stationed at Loring AFB in the County, but other than that, moved all over the United States and spent two tours in England. She graduated with honors from Mount Holyoke College in 1998. Since 1999, she has chosen to live and work in Maine performing a wide variety of jobs before answering her call to ministry. She received a Master of Divinity from Bangor Theological Seminary in 2011. She served one year as a student pastor at the Hampden Highlands UMC, served the Orono UMC for a year as their Sunday School Superintendent, started her first appointment as a Local Pastor in 2010 at Corinna UMC, was commissioned and appointed to Peaks Island from 2012-2019, and has been serving the Wayne Community Church until 2023, when she came to the River Churches Cooperative Parish.
Her husband, Dan, is from England and is a driver and warehouse worker for a car-part distribution company. They have two cats, Penny & Jinx, who they adore as their fur babies.
