Lead Pastor
Rev. Kristofer Roof
|
Kristofer moved from the Carolinas to the Mid-South in 2009 to launch the first-ever Young Adult Ministry at Collierville UMC. He would later serve that congregation as their Associate Minister before being called to church planting in 2015. On June 4, 2018, Kristofer was ordained as an Elder by Bishop Bill McAlilly.
Today, Kristofer leads a group of Christ-followers from the Collierville/Memphis area as they seek to reach people who have left the Church or who were never raised in the Church but are open to exploring questions about life, faith, and God. If you're more interested in becoming a disciple of Jesus Christ than simply becoming a "church member," then contact Pastor Kris today. |
Minister of Discipleship
Rev. Dr. Harry Durbin

Dr. Harry Durbin brings a wealth of pastoral and church experience to Peace Tree. In addition to 30+ years serving both neighborhood and urban United Methodist congregations, he has served as a church resource editor and on numerous boards and task forces.

He received his Doctor of Ministry degree from Columbia Theological Seminary.
