Rev. Dr. Kelley O’Connor
Senior Pastor

I’m Rev. Dr. Kelley O’Connor. I am so happy to be serving here at SacJUMC! This is the most loving and welcoming church – full of disciples serving faithfully with great joy! It doesn’t get better than that!

I was born in Tacoma, Washington and spent my life moving around with my military family before becoming an itinerant ordained elder in the UMC – continuing to move around – gathering many experiences and relationships that have blessed my life and expanded my heart. I have four grown sons, three married to wonderful women and 6 grandchildren! Sweet Joy!

In my “spare time” I enjoy playing and learning new instruments, taking walks, painting rocks and playing games. I also like Hallmark movies – nothing like a good ol’ happy ending at the end of a long day!


Rev. Barbara Horikoshi-Firebaugh
Emeritus Pastor

After 24 years in serving congregations in the Annual Conference, Rev. Barbara Horikoshi-Firebaugh retired on July 1, 2021. She fondly remembers her first day at Sacramento Japanese United Methodist Church, March 4, 1990, her call to ministry, and the baptism and membership of her whole family on September 9, 1990. She wishes to thank those who supported her and her family while they were active at this church, many who have gone to be with the Lord.
