Belmont UMC's Staff Parish Relations Committee (SPRC) is delighted to announce that Mark Hagewood will be expanding his leadership by serving as the Executive Director for Church Management. This new title reflects Mark’s value to Belmont UMC and the realities of managing the day-to-day operations of an organization like Belmont in 2023.

The church world is not what it once was. We see increased demands for security, technology, Weekday School, access control, aging facilities, managing contracts, opportunities for grants, managing multiple giving platforms, live streaming, and increased technology. You may not know that during the pandemic Mark helped secure over $975,000 in grants. He regularly supports church committees like Finance, Trustees, Properties, SPRC, and others while managing the financial operations of BUMC.

Mark brings to this work commitment, attention to detail, excellent interpersonal skills, and professionalism. Click here to view a staff organizational chart. Be sure to reach out and congratulate Mark!
