Rev. Aaron Logan Appointed as Senior Minister at FUMCWF Effective July 1
Dear Friends at First United Methodist Church,
On behalf of the church’s Staff-Parish Relations Committee, I am pleased to let you know that Rev. Aaron Logan has been appointed as the next Senior Minister at FUMCWF starting on July 1, 2026 as Rev. John McLarty begins his new role as a District Superintendent.
Raised in Lawton, Oklahoma, where his parents taught music at Cameron University, Aaron earned a
Bachelor’s Degree from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches and a Master’s of Divinity
from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth.
For the past five years, Aaron has served as the Senior Minister of the First United Methodist Church of
Henrietta. Prior to that, he held appointments at First United Methodist Church of Sherman, Aldersgate
United Methodist Church in Carrollton, and Trinity United Methodist Church in Denton. Before
answering the call to the ministry, Aaron sang professionally as an operatic tenor, transitioning from the
performance world into pastoral work.
Aaron brings a passion for people and has a heart for sharing the love of Jesus. He is committed to
welcoming people who are non-religious and nominally religious and introducing all to the love God.
Upon meeting with the SPRC, Aaron expressed his excitement to join the ministry of FUMCWF and to
serving and growing in this community for many years to come.
Aaron is married to Amy, a music teacher at West Foundation Elementary School in WFISD. They have
twin daughters, Madelynn and Abigail, who will graduate from Henrietta High School this spring.
Madelynn plans to study religious studies at Oklahoma City University and Abigail plans to study
psychology at the University of Arkansas this fall.
While Aaron’s appointment officially begins on July 1, his first Sunday will be on July 12. The
congregation will have a special time to welcome the Logan family immediately following worship that
day. I hope you will make plans to be present for that special time of worship. In the meantime, Aaron
will continue to serve his congregation in Henrietta, just as John will continue to serve our congregation.
If you have any questions about this process, please reach out to me or to Rev. John McLarty. I hope
you’ll join me in praying for the Logan family, the McLarty family, for FUMC Henrietta, and for our
congregation as we navigate this season of transition.
Sincerely,
Joel Blanco
Chair, Staff-Parish Relations Committee
