  • Pastor Ann Mann

    What a privilege to serve as pastor to the people of Barnesville First United Methodist

    Church and the surrounding community. My husband Kim and I were born in Alabama. Even so,

    we have lived in Georgia longer than we have lived anywhere else, moving here in 1984 shortly

    after we married.


    My full-time ministry began in 2009 when I answered my call from God. Prior to my

    time in ministry, I enjoyed a 20-year career in broadcasting, including five years at CNN, and 12

    years at Fox 5 in Atlanta, Georgia. You might say I am still telling stories. Now I share the

    greatest story ever told, the story of a Savior who loves us, and longs to be in relationship with

    us.
