From the Pastor
June 2026
Hello Friends,
I am so looking forward to meeting each of you, and being in ministry with you.
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and my family to you.
My ministry begins with my call, a call of gentle nudges over the years and a call of patience and support. Answering this call has been both humbling and exciting, and I am so grateful that the journey has led me to First United Methodist Church of Safford!
I have spent most of my adult life in Youth Ministry- both as a volunteer and as paid staff. Two years ago, when my husband Hayden and I realized that we were nearing his opportunity to retire from the Police Department, we knew it was time to do what we had planned, and I could start Seminary, and begin our journey into Ministry. I attend Emory’s Candler School of Theology, and am expected to receive my Masters of Divinity in May, 2027.
I love creative worship, meaningful conversations, asking big questions, and watching the ways that faith and curiosity are intertwined. I truly love watching those around me recognize the presence of God in their everyday life. I am beyond excited to learn, grow, and serve alongside with you.
My husband Hayden and I, along with our children Eli (18) and Norah (14) approach life as a team- Team Mosh. We love being outside, playing games, attending concerts and finding adventures in all we do. Hayden and I have been married for 22 years and are excited for this newest adventure! Hayden recently retired after nearly 21 years with the Marana Police Department, including many years as a K9 handler. His K9 Partner, Remy, also recently retired from his career and is very excited to get to be a pet, and chew on all of the toys that he can!
Do not hesitate to stop by during my office hours, or set up an appointment with me in July. I would love to get to know you more!
Blessings,
(Soon-to-be)
Pastor Rachel Mosher
