Rev. Robert F. Hindman
Pastor Bob joined our church in December of 2015. He is a 1977 graduate of Geneva College with a bachelor's degree in Political Science. Feeling called to ministry, Bob began lay preaching in 1993. This experience heightened his desire to learn more and led him to attend seminary. Bob completed his Masters of Divinity at the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary in 2011. Bob and his wife, Karen, married in 1980 and raised 2 daughters - Kylie, their youngest, and Kaitlin who is married to Justin Mohney. Pastor Bob and his family continue to live on the family farm in the Worthington area. Bob and the entire Worthington family would enjoy the opportunity to worship with you on Sunday mornings!
