 Cloverdale United Methodist Church
Pastor, Mark Lilly


                   Rev. Mark Lilly
Rev. Mark and Jill Lilly and their sons, Colten (10), Aidan (8), Dalton (8), and Kynan (5) are coming to Cloverdale after serving Wesley Memorial UMC in Opelika, AL for 5 years. Mark graduated from Asbury Theological Seminary in 2000. He then served FUMC in Ft. Walton Beach as the Associate Minister until he was ordained in 2004 and sent to Wesley. Mark grew up in a pastor's family and moved regularly. Mark calls Blountstown, FL home. Jill grew up in Blountstown and has known Mark's family all her life. Mark and Jill didn't meet until Mark graduated from Bethel College and moved into his aunt's basement in Blountstown in 1995. Jill went off to Asbury College, then they started dating and were engaged in 1997. Mark and Jill were married on Dec 20th, 1997 at Williams Memorial UMC in Blountstown. Jill will be the new store manager at Rue 21 in Dothan. She is also thinking about starting on her master's degree once all the boys are in school. Colten will be going into the 5th grade, Aidan and Dalton will be going in the 3rd grade, and Kynan will start Kindergarten this fall. We look forward to joining the Cloverdale family and are excited about our move.
