Bishop Cynthia Moore-Koikoi is pleased to announce the appointment of Rev. Kate Monahan as the Superintendent of the Delaware Bay District, effective July 1, 2025.
Rev. Kate Monahan is a graduate from Houghton College and Princeton Theological Seminary where she holds a degree in Master of Divinity as well as a Master in Christian Education. She has held positions in the Greater NJ Annual Conference as a Circuit Elder, Cohort Facilitator, Lead Pastor in the local church, before becoming an Associate Superintendent in the Coastal Plains Region.
Kate is a gifted visionary and strategic thinker which has been evident in the churches that she has worked with on the Coastal Plains Region. She also is a sought-after coach that understands the local church setting as well as the needs and challenges of clergy. Kate brings into this role her organizational skills, ability to be a bridge builder, emotional intelligence, strong preaching, and a passion to see the local church thrive and grow. Kate has also been instrumental in reviving the Mosaic program of recruiting new clergy that is benefiting the theological diversity throughout the region and conference. Along with these gifts, Kate is a wonderful artist, adventurist, and enjoys listening and learning from other’s stories.
These gifts will serve Rev. Kate Monahan well in the Delaware Bay District. The district, made up of urban, suburban, and very rural areas, will have someone who can bring the missional strategy needed throughout these different settings. There are churches where communities are growing and changing, some that are faced with the challenges of economical struggles, and places of opportunities to make new disciples of Jesus Christ. Kate will bring that enthusiastic evangelistic spirit of hope that can empower the clergy and laity.
Kate is married to the Rev. Joe Monahan and a stepmother. Her love for family, friendship, the local church and serving Christ in the community is witnessed in her everyday walk with God.
