INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana Area Bishop Mike Coyner announced today the
appointment of the Rev. Douglas Anderson to serve as Superintendent of the
Michiana District and North Indiana Cabinet member effective July 1.
In his announcement, Coyner said, “Doug has previously served as a
superintendent of the Muncie District, so he brings a wealth of experience to
this position. Given the transitional nature of the Imagine Indiana process and
the possibility of reducing the number of districts in the next two years, I am
asking Doug to serve as Michiana District Superintendent on a half-time interim
basis.
“I am also naming the Rev. Marianne Chalstrom to serve in the Michiana
District alongside Doug as an Associate District Superintendent, who will work
with the various district committees, handle pastoral care for pastors and
families, and also provide some district programming. Marianne is a retired
former superintendent who served the Warsaw District. She now lives in South
Bend in the Michiana District, so she also brings a wealth of experience.
Marianne and Doug will be working with the Michiana District as a ‘team’ much
like is proposed in the new Imagine Indiana design, along with the
Administrative Assistant in the district office.”
The Rev. Robert Dexter, who currently serves as superintendent to the
Michiana District, has been appointed to Mt. Olive United Methodist Church
in Muncie effective July 1.
