Greetings, Everyone!
​I am deeply honored to serve the good people of Monaghan UMC. You can definitely feel the Holy Spirit at work in this little vibrant community of believers!  All are welcome here who seek to deepen their faith and/or explore the Christian walk of life through our Lord Jesus Christ.   No one is perfect. Certainly not me!  Through the precious blood of our Savior, we all can grow as persons seeking "a more excellent way."  We Methodists believe that salvation is a whole lifetime of seeking to know and serve God more fully.  Each of us is called to minister to others both in words and deeds of love.  Everything we do and seek to do revolves around the Love and Light of Christ. Again, I humbly invite you come and worship with us.  We thank you for the privilege of getting to meet you and praise God with together you!                   
In His Name,  Pastor Rusty


About Pastor Rusty Godfrey
​

I am a native of Greenville, SC, and happily married to my beautiful wife Melonee for 30 amazing years.   We are blessed with two wonderful sons, Benjamin and Louis, one of whom is a Clemson grad and the other attending Clemson.   I am a full-time social studies teacher at the SC Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities, and I have taught in the SC public schools for over thirty years.  I graduated with a B.A. in History in 1991 from Furman University and a M.Ed. in Secondary Education in 1998 from Clemson University.  I first obtained National Board of Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) certification in 2004 and renewed successfully in 2014.  And Praise God, I completed the required "Basic Course of Study" for Methodist licensed local pastors at Duke University in August 2019 after five consecutive summers of hard work at Duke Divinity School!   

I love singing and strumming on my guitar (I am not great at either but have fun with each).  I love many types of music including gospel, spirituals, blues, jazz, and classic country-and-western.   God has richly blessed me and opened so many doors for me.  I give all praise, honor, and glory to Him who deserves it all!
