Thank you for visiting our website. Sharon UMC is an affirming church, recognizing all people as beloved children of God. No exceptions. No exclusions. We are also an “outward facing” church, invested in ministry with our community.

I’m a native Currituckian and have been a member at Sharon UMC since the late 80s. As a Certified Lay Minister, I was appointed pastor of Sharon UMC in July 2026, a position I’m excited about. I have a heart for community ministry, and invite you to join me in our efforts to respond to the needs of those around us.

I’m a proud NCSU graduate, a retired high school English teacher, and mother of three sons—Preston, Robert, and Sam—and grandmother of Penelope, Elias, Maddie, and Theo. I enjoy travel, music, reading, and pottery. And I love my water fitness classes at the Y. In addition, I work as a chief judge at the Coinjock Precinct during elections. You’ll see me at lots of community events.

I welcome you to come by Sharon UMC for a visit. I think you’ll find a loving church home here, a place where you can grow spiritually and participate in meaningful ministry.

Many Blessings,  
Jeanne Murray, Pastor
