Pastor Bonnie is a community pastor. She believes in connecting people and organizations for all to flourish. Over the years, she has served as the MC for the Mayor's Christmas Parade in Hampden; a Baltimore City Police Chaplain; on the Board of Directors for St. Mary's Outreach Center; as the Ground Producer for the Kingsville, MD Independence Day Parade; a Challenge Master for Destination Imagination, a Summer Camp Director for LeadHer (a unique camp she began to provide training and skills to middle and high school girls in Christian Leadership at West River Center); and so much more.
Rev. Bonnie McCubbin grew up in Harford, County, MD as a cradle Methodist. Her family has lived in the same 30-mile radius since 1646. She graduated from C. Milton Wright High School in the top 2% of her class, St. Mary's College of Maryland with a B.A. (Double Major in History and Anthropology with a Minor in Math, Magna Cum Laude), and Wesley Theological Seminary, Washington, DC, with an MDiv (With Honors). She is currently enrolled at Drew University, Madison, NJ, working on her Doctorate, focusing on the micro level of implementation of the abolishment of the Central Jurisdiction of the Methodist Church in 1965-68.
Her work on who burned Cokesbury College was published in a peer-reviewed journal (Maryland History, Winter 2011) and received global media attention. In 2022, another historical find made the front page of The Baltimore Sun as she rediscovered Bishop Francis Asbury's last written words. In less academic writing, she has an article on race conversations with children in When Kids Ask Hard Questions, Vol. 2. She has also been a contributing writer for various curriculums, devotionals, and other publications.
Rev. McCubbin is married to Rev. Lemuel Dominguez, another UMC pastor. Together, they have 2 living children. In her spare time, she enjoys sewing, quilting, taking walks and hikes in nature, hanging out with her family, and watching terrible TV shows. Her favorite food is ice cream.
If you ever want to chat, Pastor Bonnie loves to do so over ice cream at local shops! You can contact her to set up an appointment.
