Rev. Robert Morley

Bob Morley is a United Methodist minister with four decades of experience in pastoral and specialized ministries. He is currently serving as our Pastor here at Covina United Methodist Church.

His talents as a preacher, lecturer, storyteller and musician have enabled him to perform in all fifty states as well as Europe, Asia and Africa. His multiple talents and casual style has carried him beyond the churches to schools, military bases, YMCAs and a variety of convention venues.

He has produced more than twenty recordings in his career, three of which are available on CD. His talents also reside in his writings. He has not only written a dozen magazine articles, he has also published two books. “Aerobics for the Spirit” (1990) and “Moments” (1996).

Rev. Morley balances his pastoral duties and his traveling ministry with an active family life. He met his wife Isla, while on a tour in South Africa. They have a daughter, Emily, who is five years old and they share their home with a dog (Samson), two cats (Mango and Lily) and a desert tortoise (Shelby).
