Pastor Mary Zimmer serves the Grantsville United Methodist Charge (Consisting of Brooksville Church and Knotts Memorial Church) since 1997. She shares her home in Grantsville West Virginia with her only child, a very spoiled dog, named Sugar.
   She received her degree in Early Childhood Education in 1984 and a M.Ed. degree in the field of Human Relations Development in 1986 from Ohio University in Athens, Ohio.
      In the summer of 1992, as part of the Volunteer in Mission program of the UMC, Mary spent eight weeks on the Blackfoot Reservation in Montana. During her stay, she felt her future lay in Christian Education as a missionary and shortly thereafter left the Brice Preschool program and enrolled in Asbury Theological Seminary in Kentucky graduating with a Masters Degree in Missions and Evangelism in 1995.
