Welcome Pastor Ice and Family!

The Rev. Jeffrey Ice will preach his first sermon as the pastor of the Brooksville First United Methodist Church, 109 South Broad Street, during the contemporary service at 9:30 a.m. and the 11 a.m. traditional service on Sunday, July 5^th. He and his family will be welcomed with a luncheon following a 10 a.m. combined service on July 12^th.

For the past five years, Rev. Ice has ministered to a growing congregation at the Poinciana United Methodist Church in Miami Springs where he led the members to meet 100 percent of the church’s apportionments and to develop an addiction recovery ministry and an outreach to autistic children and their families.

Rev. Ice, 47, is a graduate of Florida International University in Miami and Asbury Theological Seminary in Kentucky and, before his most recent pastorate in Miami Springs, served the Kathleen United Methodist Church in Lakeland for five years. He views his calling to be “to live, teach and preach the Bible, the holy Word of God” in a church whose mission is “to have transformed lives going out into an unsaved world proclaiming the truth of Jesus.”

His wife, Laura, has a master’s degree in Biblical studies and is working on a doctor of philosophy degree from Asbury Theological Seminary. They have a 19-year-old son, Ian Lounsburg, and two daughters, nine-year-old Danielle and five-year-old Lindsay.

Rev. Ice succeeds the Rev. William J. Oakley, who has been assigned to the United Methodist Church in East Naples.
