Pastor Kandace joined Asbury as our new pastor on September 11, 2022. Originally from the Buffalo area, she has lived and worked in Florida for 43 years; first as Professor of Music at the University of Florida, and for the last 20 years as an Elder in the Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church.  Her ministry has included serving churches in Gainesville, Orlando, Ormond Beach and Tallahassee.

Pastor Kandace has one adult daughter who lives and works in Los Angeles, and a large extended family in the Buffalo area.  Her joy is spending time working with stained and fused glass, hiking and kayaking, and cheering on the Buffalo Bills with her sports-minded family!

Pastor Kandace is "fully invested in remaining part of the ongoing United Methodist Church, where the love of God and the grace offered us in Christ is available to all."

She prides herself with a helpful nature.
