She holds degrees from Northwestern, Harvard, and University of West Georgia where she recently completed her doctorate in Psychology with a focus on spirituality and sexuality.

Rowland Curry is a lay member of St. John's United Methodist Church in Austin, TX. A long-time member of the Southwest Texas MFSA Chapter (now Rio Texas), Rowland has brought great insight and passion for local organizing to the MFSA board of directors. At General Conference in 2012 (and again in 2016), Rowland provided amazing hospitality in the Love Your Neighbor Tabernacle. A retired engineer, Rowland spends time with his wife Jan and their children and grandchildren, and volunteers his time in emergency relief with the American Red Cross. Rowland's term will expire after General Conference and we are thankful for the years of leadership he has provided to the board of directors!
