Halferty takes the helm at Waterloo church BY OCTAVIA LEHMAN olehman@kpcnews.net
AUBURN — Mike Halferty was surprised when he received his appointment to Waterloo United Methodist Church. “They usually don’t send you seven miles from your old church,” Halferty said. Halferty, the former pastor at Mount Pleasant United Methodist Church and Maple Grove Methodist Church, is now the full-time pastor at the Waterloo church. Halferty served as the pastor at Mount Pleasant and Maple Grove for 6 1/2 years. In the United Methodist tradition, Halferty said it’s normal for pastors to be sent to different churches. Most appointments though, are made in new communities. “They send you where there is a need,” he said. He and his wife, Tricia, have moved into the church parsonage and are eager to become a part of the Waterloo community. “There are a lot of possibilities,” Halferty said, about living in Waterloo. “I used to live in the country, and it was harder to reach people,” Halferty said. “Now people are out walking around.” Halferty has started

Originally from Ligonier, Halferty earned his degree from Taylor University in pastoral ministry. Halferty said he felt a calling in his life to become

a pastor. “I wasn’t always a real good guy,” he said. “The Lord said, ‘Come and follow me.’” While attending Auburn First United Methodist Church, he was encouraged by others to follow into the ministry. “I believe in serving my congregation,” Halferty said. “I always say I’m a beggar who found bread,” Halferty said. “I want to share that bread.”
