Appointed Pastor

Amie Brodie

Amie is an appointed clergy for The Farmhouse by the Maumee Watershed District of the United Methodist Church’s West Ohio Conference. Specifically, Amie oversees all formational practices and spaces in the community and she is a certain presence in everything happening at The Farmhouse.

“What are you going to do with your one wild and precious life?”

This quote by Mary Oliver is Amie’s guiding principle. Her life has been one of seeking and self-education, hoping always to stumble toward wisdom.

Her family is her husband Bruce and three dogs; she also has two older sisters. Amie lives in Oregon OH, where she does dog grooming and practices the art of homesteading on her land. She and her husband have a bluegrass/Americana band called Wolf Creek Risin’, and she sings and plays fiddle. Amie loves reading, writing, music, dogs, and talking about ideas. This is by necessity a partial list.

She hopes to live in such a way that her obituary will take up an entire page. It is her dream to see The Farmhouse grow and weather strong, a sturdy community in right relationship with each other, the neighbors, and the land.

“To make that happen is to spend my life well.”
