Pastor Jim Boughman
The Ellsworth United Methodist Church is pleased to welcome Pastor Jim Boughman
as their new pastor.
Pastor Jim has been a licensed Local Pastor since 2004 and has had the pleasure to
preach from many pulpits. He recently served as Pastor at the Grace Linn Memorial
United Methodist Church in Hartland, Maine. Before beginning to serve in the ministry
he worked as a Corporate Operations manager in publishing among other
professions throughout his life.
Pastor Jim says “he is very comfortable living in hooded sweatshirts and shorts all
year and simply being called ‘Pastor Jim’.” He also states that he believes ministry is
carried out by everyone, at all times and in all opportunities not just for those in the
role of Pastor and Clergy. Ministers are what we are as we go about spreading the
‘good news’ we so strongly profess.
Pastor Jim says he is extremely excited about getting to know all of the people at the
Ellsworth United Methodist Church and to meet and be with the people of the
community. He tells the congregation he looks forward to sharing life in ministry
together.
Pastor Jim and his wife Ellen live in Bucksport, Maine. He has 3 children and 2
grandchildren.
The Ellsworth United Methodist Church is located at 21 Hancock Street in Ellsworth.
Their Worship gathering begins at 11:00 AM each Sunday. All are welcome.
About Us
The members of our small congregation feel we are called to be “mighty mustard seeds” along the coast of Maine. We are blessed to have many vacationers visit our church and we urge you to make us your worship home while you are in the area. If you are seeking a new church home, we welcome the opportunity to share our worship and friendship as we grow in the spirit together.
– What to expect –
Our Sunday Morning worship begins at 11:00 AM and is an hour-long service. Check our website or our Facebook page for announcements regarding upcoming events.
– Parking – There is parking at the side of the church and two parking lots at the back of the church.
– Atmosphere – Please ”come as you are” – dress however you like. At our church, you will see jeans *and* three-piece suits!
– Outdoor Sanctuary – We have a sweet outdoor sanctuary spot on the lawn to the left of the church, with a bench, a homemade birch bark cross and some flowers. It’s a perfect spot for some quiet reflection while enjoying God’s natural gifts. This outdoor worship area is dedicated to Ms. Winny, a long-time member of our congregation who passed away recently.
– Children – A children’s story is incorporated into the main worship service – we call it “Time for the Young at Heart.” Often, our adults participate just as much as any children who are present do. We do not have a nursery service at present. Folks are invited to enjoy coffee and refreshments after the worship service.
– How we share our gifts – We support many local organizations, including:
Next Step Domestic Violence Project,
Families First Community Center,
Hancock County Food Drive,
Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry,
Emmaus Homeless Shelter

This is a great job on the website. I love to read about our ole church and see what’s going on there although I don’t get to visit very often with this hustle, bustle around here. Always buzzing about and off to the next thing. Hope all going well with you. We’re doing great, both healthy, etc. Justin, Chelsea and her friend, Emily, are visiting now so we’re having fun with them. We got a new edition to our family, Clyde, our 1-year-old beagle. He’s a doll baby. So Roxie’s lost weight running after him. It also gives Jimmy and I a little break to watch TV @ night. Tell all we said hi. God Bless. Cary
