Pastor Robbin has been a member of the United Methodist Church since 2004 and has served as a Lay Pastor/Pastor since 2017.

She was raised Southern Baptist but took to being Methodist like a "duck to water." She has been married to her husband Stanley for almost 33 years. He’s a lifelong Methodist, and says he tries not to hold her Baptist upbringing against her. Together they have one son, Lonnie, who is 31. He has a PhD in chemistry and is currently back home and enrolled at MVCC to become a nurse.

Pastor Robbin said, "I think that one of the most important things we can do is give our witness, and I would like to share mine with you.

In June of 2005, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. This was just a little over a year after I joined the Methodist Church. Three things happened that year that cemented my faith and placed a call on my life.   
The first thing was the miracle of how my treatment started. My doctor’s office was having difficulty finding a local surgeon for me and asked if I would go to Syracuse or Albany. Within a few days, I received a packet in the mail from a local surgeon with an appointment date and time! We called their office because the date and the day of the week didn’t match, only to find out that they didn’t have me in their books and hadn’t sent me any paperwork. Turns out they were able to see me a few days later.   
The second thing that happened was the overwhelming sense of peace that I had the entire time. I attribute this peace to the prayers of my church family. Without their prayers, I honestly believe my outcome would not have been the same.
And thirdly, I saw fear and hurt in the faces of the friends and family members of the women who went through treatment with me, and I wanted to help them, but I didn’t know how. That fall, I took my first lay speaking class, and the rest, as they say, is history.

 
I am very much looking forward to journeying with you and seeing what the Holy Spirit has in store for us all!
