Over the course of his life, Barry has had a deep and abiding passion for baseball. When Barry was in Montclaire, New Jersey, he went to College High School, which was a demonstration high school located on the grounds of Montclaire State College. He graduated from College High School. While he was in his final year of high school, he made the decision to devote his life to Christ.
He moved to West Virginia in order to attend his cherished West Virginia Wesleyan College in Buckhannon. It was there that he met his devoted wife, Pam, and he loved both our state and our state so much that he never considered leaving. Following the completion of his studies at Wesleyan, he went on to get a Master of Divinity degree from the Candler School of Theology at Emory University, which is located in Atlanta, Georgia.
The next years of Barry’s life were spent in the West Virginia Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church, where he served as a pastor with unwavering devotion. Following his retirement from pastoral ministry in 2018, Barry immediately began serving as the Chaplain at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Buckhannon, a ministry that he found to be filled with a great deal of satisfaction.
In the most recent instance, Barry’s commitment to assisting people and his willingness to serve was demonstrated through his work at the Upshur Parish House in Buckhannon. In addition to this, he has successfully completed mission trips for a number of different places all around the world. A significant number of them are working with Volunteers in Mission.
He played a significant role in the development of the Celebration of Mission Event that was held at the West Virginia Annual Conference many years ago. Through his devotion to Christ, Barry has made a positive impact on the lives of a great number of people all around the world. It was his firm conviction that one might deliver a more powerful sermon with one’s own life than with one’s own words combined.
