POWER PROGRAM - Key Persons
After completing my field education in the spring of 2021, I am excited to continue my service at Arch Street UMC and the Center in a new capacity. I especially enjoy engaging members of the congregation in reflecting matters of faith in pursuit of a more just world.
I enjoy being part of a team that cares for people like Arch Street and when I am not in the building making sure everything is in order I might be on a basketball court someplace around town.
Robin is appointed as the lead pastor of the Arch Street United Methodist (ASUMC). For 17 years, Robin has served the congregation and has engaged the community at large in justice-seeking action. Prior to coming to ASUMC, Robin served as the executive director of the Frankford Group Ministry, a cooperative ministry in the Frankford neighborhood. His very first appointment was to the United Methodist Mid Town Parish in North Philadelphia as a Global Mission Fellow - US2 which became a fulltime appointment.
In service to the community at large, he is on the Board of Trustees at Albright College, on the board of Center City Organized for Responsible Development and a founding member of POWER, an interfaith network of communities of faith and conscience. Robin is a graduate of Albright College and Duke Divinity School.
