Deep Relationships with Justin Coleman

April 13, 2021 Leave a Comment

In this episode, Rev. Justin Coleman shares from his own experiences with relational proximity – how those who avoided it hurt him and how embracing that proximity makes us better citizens of the kin-dom of God.

Episode 5: Justin Coleman

Justin grew up in Texas, and attended Southern Methodist University, graduating in 2000 with a major in religious studies.  He, too, was very active in SMU’s Wesley Foundation and served as Associate Pastor at SMU’s Wesley Foundation from 2001 to 2003 as he began seminary studies at SMU’s Perkins School of Theology.  Justin transferred to Duke Divinity School in 2003 and graduated with a Master of Divinity in 2005.  Justin’s first clergy appointment was to University UMC, as an intern in 2004 and then as Associate Pastor from 2005 to 2007.

In 2007, Justin was called back to the Texas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church, where he is an elder, and was appointed Associate Pastor at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church in Houston, Texas.  For six years from 2008 to 2014, Justin served as the Executive and Lead Pastor of the Gethsemane Campus of St. Luke’s Church and led it through a remarkable period of growth in ministry and service to its community.

From 2014 to June 2017 Justin served as the Chief Ministry Officer of the United Methodist Publishing House in Nashville, Tennessee.  During this time he has also continued to frequently offer lectures, sermons, and lead worship.

Currently, Justin serves as the lead pastor of University UMC in Chapel Hill, where he lives with his family.
