The Rev. Marvin A. Moss, senior pastor of Cascade United Methodist Church in Atlanta, is leaving to take the helm of Salem United Methodist Church in Harlem.

Moss, has served as Cascade’s senior pastor for nearly eight years. The move was announced by the Rev. Coy Hinton, Atlanta-College Park District superintendent for the United Methodist Church.

Moss’ appointment takes effect in June during the United Methodist Church’s annual conference.

“We give thanks to him for his dedicated leadership and years of service at Cascade and other churches in the North Georgia Conference,” Hinton said in a statement. Prior to joining Cascade, Moss was senior pastor at St. James United Methodist Church in Alpharetta, which grew from less than 200 members to more than 1,200 under his leadership.

He was the 20th pastor called to lead Cascade.
