Ernie Vineyard, Interim Pastor
Rev. Ernie joins Hamlin Memorial as our Interim Pastor with deep gratitude and a heart for service. Alongside his wife Corrie, to whom he’s been married for over 43 years, Ernie has always felt a connection to our congregation after worshiping with us during visits to Clovis. He brings with him decades of experience in ministry, including two pastoral appointments and service as a District Superintendent, following a career in commercial door and window sales. Now retired, Ernie felt called to step back into ministry in an interim role—choosing Hamlin Memorial for its special place in his and Corrie’s hearts. He is committed to providing consistency, support, and guidance during this transitional season, listening closely and helping the church discern its path forward while we prayerfully seek our next long-term pastor.
