Dr. Keith L. Somerville
Lead Pastor
Thank you so much for visiting The Village! As you get to know all about us, I wanted to take some time to tell you just a little about myself. Most people call me Pastor Keith. In 2016, I was ordained as an Elder in full connection through the Texas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church. That means that along with my call to ministry by God, I am formally educated, experienced and connected to thousands of men and women worldwide who are accountable to one another for the care of God's people.
I am a graduate of Morehouse College, the Interdenominational Theological Center (Gammon Seminary) with a Masters of Divinity in Pastoral Care and Counseling, and Emory University with a Doctor of Ministry Degree in Biblical Interpretation and Proclamation. I have also earned a Certificate in Clinical Pastor Education and served as a Chaplain of Clinical Pastoral Education at St Luke's Episcopal Hospital and Texas Children's Hospital (Houston Medical Center).
Before being called to The Village, I served full-time as the Senior Pastor of Riverside-Houston UMC, Calvary-Houston UMC and One Life UMC.
I look forward to meeting you and I hope you prayerfully consider becoming a part of The Village.
