Moses Jarta (jar’tah) Flomo (flow’mo), a native of Liberia, current pastor of African and St. Mary Street United Methodist Churches of the Greater New Jersey Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church, is a Born-Again believer and follower of Jesus Christ. He studied Theology and Pastoral Ministry at the Gbarnga (barn’gah) School of Theology - a United Methodist Seminary in Gbarnga, Liberia, where he earned a Diploma in Theology (Master of Divinity equivalence) and Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, D. C., where he earned the Master of Theological Studies degree in Biblical Studies. He served several congregations (Community UMC in Gbarnga, William Pitman Kennedy UMC in Voinjama, and David G. Gueh UMC in Paynesville) in his native Liberia prior to migrating to the United States. He has served many congregations in the Greater New Jersey Annual Conference since 1996 - including Irvington UMC (Irvington), Franklin-St. John’s (Newark - Associate), Park Avenue-St. John (East Orange), and Bethany Browne (Jersey City).
He believes in honoring God with his life by striving "to live above reproach", doing the works of mercy, justice, and peace - "doing no harm", "doing good" to all people, and "attending upon the ordinances of God.” Pastor Flomo believes in the life-giving, life-transforming, and life-enhancing power of Jesus Christ through the Gospel and ministry to the world. He is therefore dedicated to making a difference in the community and the world through service in the power and spirit of Christ.
Pastor Flomo is married. He and his lovely wife Saba (sah’bah) are blessed with six children – Abraham Jarta, Corboi (coor’boy) Benedict, Nhanmo (nahn’mo) Jarta, Nyanman (yahn’mahn) Morgan, Lorpu (lorr’poo) Saba, and Guladiah Surprise.
