Our New Financial Secretary
The Zachary United Methodist Church Staff Parish Relations committee would  like to introduce our new Financial Secretary, Mason Pendergist to our Church Staff.  Here is a little bio from Mason:
I was born and raised here in Zachary. I graduated high school from dear ole' Zachary High in 2015 and furthered my education at Southeastern Louisiana University. I graduated from Southeastern in December of 2019 and began working for Lane Regional Medical Center as an accountant in February of 2021. I am happy to be apart of the team here at Zachary United Methodist Church. In spare time I really enjoy the outdoors, mostly by hunting and fishing.
