Meet The Pastor

Reverend Kyle Toomire
Pastor Kyle Toomire was born and raised in Odessa, TX. He received his undergraduate degree from The University of Texas at Austin. He began his ministry almost twenty years ago when he began working with youth. After several years on staff at FUMC Austin, he attended seminary at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary where he graduated with a Masters of Divinity. Not long after, he was ordained an Elder into the Southwest Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church. Late in 2007, the UMC decided that the Kyle/Buda area was the perfect place to offer a new church. Not only was the area rapidly growing but many of the new residents were young families. They chose to appoint the Reverend Kyle Toomire to begin this new venture. At this time, Kyle was on staff at First United Methodist Church. He had been there for over a decade and served in a variety of positions, most currently as assistant pastor. His wife, Rachael, was the Assistant Director of the Texas Wesley Foundation and, Elias, their son, was a very new addition to the family. More recently, they have been blessed by the addition of a second son, Micah.
