Pastor Mary Ann Holbrook has been in ministry
in the United Methodist Church since 1985 when she
began as a lay speaker.  In 1993 the Chesapeake United Methodist Church recommended her for entrance into ministry as a pastor.  She entered the Course of Study
and completed these studies.  Her last appointment before Dawes United Methodist Church was the Diamond United Methodist Church.  She also pastored at Valley Grove United Methodist Church and Rand United Methodist Church.   She also completed several courses of study at
the University of Charleston Lay Academy.

Pastor Holbrook was born in Charleston, WV and has
been a resident of Hernshaw, WV since 1990.  She is an

Pastor Holbrook enjoys spending time with her family

blessing in her life from God and she enjoys her work
very much.
