Since July 1, 2017, Dr. Owen Ross has been the Director for the Center of Church Development for the North Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church. Prior to this, Dr. Ross served as the founding pastor of Christ’s Foundry United Methodist Mission. He moved into the north Love Field neighborhood in Dallas and began knocking on doors in Spring 2002. On Ash Wednesday 2003, Christ’s Foundry began worship in his home and grew to averaging over 300 in weekly bi-lingual and Spanish worship in 2016, the second largest Spanish-language United Methodist Congregation in the U.S.
A native of the rural East Texas town of Henderson, Dr. Ross has lived in Mexico, Dominican Republic, Canada, Ecuador, and Zimbabwe. He holds a BA with a double major in International Studies and Political Science from Texas A&M University, a Master of Divinity from Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University, and a Doctor of Ministry from Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky. His doctoral thesis was Ministry with the Poor: The Role of Social Services in Evangelism.
Dr. Ross is a Return Peace Corps Volunteer, having served in the western lowlands of Ecuador. He did Spanish-language studies in La Universidad de las Americas in Puebla, Mexico. His seminary studies took him to Africa University where he continues to serve as a board member for the Fairfield Outreach and Sponsors Association for the Fairfield Children’s Home in Old Mutare, Zimbabwe.
Dr. Ross’ passion is to reconnect the church with holistic ministry with the poor as modeled by Christ and the earliest Methodists. A certified coach by the International Coaching Federation, Dr. Ross has worked with churches throughout the United States, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Honduras as a consultant and coach, specifically for ministries with non-traditional populations.

The Parkinson’s Creativity Phenomenon
Parkinson’s Art Exhibit
This show features the work of three artists: Tim Scheer, Judy VanDermeer, and Judy Williamson. Each is blessed with what is sometimes called the Parkinson’s Creativity Phenomenon. Often times Parkinson’s, or the treatment for Parkinson’s awakens or enhances artistic or other creative skills. Sometimes it even brings out skills that were previously completely hidden and other times it enhances or improves upon creative talents that were already evident.

Summer Delight Art Exhibit
Jean McIntosh’s work captures the intersection between the physical and spiritual. She focuses mostly on reflections and refractions of light in water. By the combination of color, texture and surface pattern, she expresses her inner spirit. The art of being present in the moment determines her every step. Beauty, motion, collections and autobiographical experiences are popular themes. Jean received her M.F. A. from Texas Woman’s University. She is in the permanent collections of Mountain View Community College, Brookhaven Community College and the New Orleans Museum of Art, New Orleans, Louisiana.

Beauty, love, and motion portrayed through colors, values and design are favorite themes in the paintings of Judith Srite Campbell. After a lengthy career departure, Judith recently rekindled her love with art. From studying in Paris and Switzerland as a young girl to being one of the artist-owners of The Highland Park Art Gallery, founding the Artists’ Showplace Gallery and becoming a partner in the new Frisco Fine Art Gallery, art has always been in her blood.
