Elk City United Methodist Church

Dwain and Sharon Hodges are Elk City UMC’s custodians, joining the staff right in the middle of a pandemic in 2020. That brought a unique set of challenges as cleaning the church took on a new importance. The couple can be found at church most days cleaning and disinfecting after each church event, keeping things in working order and fixing issues that arise on church grounds. Dwain and Sharon simply describe themselves as caretakers for God’s work. They enjoy cleaning God’s house for people to worship in a safe and tidy environment. The couple is enjoying the freedom retirement has afforded them to do the work God has called them to. When not at church, they love to watch movies together and also enjoy classic cars. Their favorite mission is supporting the church in all its kingdom work. Dwain and Sharon’s favorite Bible passage is 2 Kings, Chapter 6, and their biggest prayer is for peace and unity worldwide.
