Pastor Art Mott came to be the pastor of Niemonds Independent Church in the fall of 1998 after twenty years in a fractured church ministry.  The independent ministry was called “Christian Enrichment”.  During that period of time, Pastor Art and his family went into four churches that had either voted to close their doors, or had suffered a terrible fracture (split) and led in the restoration of that work by grounding them in the Word of God and developing a scriptural centered ministry.

After these years of serving in that capacity, the Lord led Pastor Art to accept the call to be the Pastor here in Richfield.  He is humbled to be used of God in these valleys and is excited about what the Lord is doing as we continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior.

Pastor Art has two Bachelor of Arts degrees in General Education and in Pastoral Studies and a Masters in Pastoral Studies.

He has been married to the former Joyce Paige since 1977.  They have three grown children and three grandchildren.  Pastor believes that the centrality of worship is in the exposition of God’s Word and is called on frequently to share in Bible Conferences, seminars, Deeper Life Conferences and other events.  He also continues to offer his services and experience to struggling churches by way of meetings, seminars, counseling and other events.  He is currently working on a book entitled, “All This and We Settle For That”.  Pastor Art is also humbled to be used of God as a gifted soloist and does concerts as time permits.

He has cheerfully led this very historic rural church from an average attendance of 55 to an average attendance of 280 and a new facility.
