Roy E. Ice
Rev. Roy E. Ice started his pastorate at Nashville United Methodist Church on July 1, 2023. His main goal in life is to encourage others to live into “Applied Theology” - that is - to learn the ways of God and then to share the Gospel and Example of Jesus the Christ by word and actions. Ordained in 2003, Pastor Roy has served the United Methodist Church in a variety of ways and locations, but always with the same spirit and mission. He fully believes that all aspects of the church should be fun, exciting, open and available to everyone. Pastor Roy invites you to come to NUMC to receive the blessings of God’s Spirit so that you can go into the world to bless others.
