Bobby Patton is excited and grateful to be joining Middletown United Methodist Church as the new Youth Pastor. Originally from Damascus Maryland, Bobby has served ministries at his home church, Minnesota, Ohio, and now Louisville.
For him, youth ministry has always been about relationships—helping students know they are loved by God, connected to a caring community, and equipped to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ.
Over the years, Bobby has had the privilege of walking alongside students through mission trips, retreats, small groups, service projects, and everyday moments of faith and life. He is passionate about creating spaces where young people can ask honest questions, build meaningful friendships, and discover how God is calling them to live out their faith.
Bobby is a big fan of Star Wars and all things Tolkien and loves ice hockey. He and his wife, Sarah, have two elementary age children.
