Moses Jarta (jar’tah) Flomo (flow’mo) - current pastor of African and Saint Mary Street United Methodist Churches of the Greater New Jersey Annual Conference, United Methodist Church - hails from the Republic of Liberia, West Africa, where (beginning in 1986) he served several congregations in the Liberia Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church for ten years including Community United Methodist Church in Gbarnga (barn’gah), William Pitman Kennedy United Methodist Church in Voinjama (Vohn’jah’mah), and David G. Gueh United Methodist Church in Monrovia. During his tenure at William Pitman Kennedy United Methodist Church (this was the only United Methodist congregation in Lofa County), a school was built (still fully functioning) and the foundation laid (established many preaching points that eventually became full congregations) for what is now the Voinjama District of the Liberia Annual Conference. Many young men and women who are currently serving the Church as ordained ministers and lay-persons were also encouraged, influenced, and motivated to follow their own calls to ministry through his guidance and leadership.
Claimed by God at the tender age of fifteen, he accepted God’s call to ordained ministry - having tried to no avail to ignore God’s call in order to pursue studies and career in Electrical Engineering. He studied at the Gbarnga School of Theology - a United Methodist Seminary in Gbarnga, Liberia, where he earned a Diploma in Theology (Master of Divinity equivalence) and Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, D. C., where he earned the Master of Theological Studies degree in Biblical Studies. He is presently enrolled in the Doctor of Ministry Degree Program at Wesley Theological Seminary. He has also served several congregations in the Greater New Jersey Annual Conference since 1996 - including Irvington UMC (Irvington), Franklin-St. John’s (Newark - Associate), Park Avenue-St. John (East Orange), and Bethany Browne (Jersey City).
He believes in honoring God with his life by striving "to live above reproach", doing the works of mercy, justice, and peace - "doing no harm", "doing good" to all people, and "attending upon the ordinance of God.” Subscribing to the Scripture’s affirmation of “the priesthood of all believers”, he believes that ministry is the work of all the people of God. Both clergy and laity are called to this priesthood. While each may assume different roles, both have the responsibility "to enter into mission and to minister and witness in the name of Jesus Christ, the Head of the Church." The ministry of Jesus Christ is, therefore, the ministry of all the people of God. Both clergy and lay persons are team members of the ministry team. As the various members of a team work together to bring success or victory to the team, so must the various members of the ministry team in continuing Jesus' mission. Hence, he believes in developing, equipping, resourcing, supporting, and empowering lay leadership for the work of ministry.
Pastor Flomo seeks to make a difference in the community in other ways. He volunteers as a Chaplain of the Burlington City Police Department; Coordinator of Team Builders Community Development Corporation – a 501(c)(3) community development organization; and
