Rev. Mar Bruner has been appointed to serve Christ UMC effective July 1, 2025.

I have been serving Ashland Christ UMC as treasurer since 2003.  As an Ashland native born and raised, I graduated from Ashland University in 2002 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration double majoring in Accounting and Finance and minoring in Management Information Systems.  I am married to Michael and we have 5 children: Lexus also an Ashland University graduate who is a 3rd grade intervention specialist, Jaden, Nevaeh, Maleah, & Evangeline.  We all live in Ashland.  One of my favorite scriptures passages is 

Matthew 5:13-16 Salt and Light 13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
