The Reverend Doctor Stanley R. Copeland-or simply "Stan" as he is known to more folk and "Pastor Stan" as he is known to most kids-is the senior pastor of the 5,000-member, multicultural, urban congregation of Lovers Lane United Methodist Church in Dallas, Texas. Even though he has served in the urban centers of Houston and Dallas for more than three decades, his roots are deeply set in rural soil. Some might say that he really is just a good ol' boy from a small town in East Texas-Chandler. His parents, sister and her family and most of their kin still live there. He makes the 90-minute trip to "home" every chance he gets. He has a farm outside of Chandler, called Stillwater, which was what the community was name before Chandler's township was establishment in 1880. He also co-owns the Stillwater Farm Market Store www.stillwatermarket.farm, which is the storefront from which the Picklin' Parson, award-winning, From-the-Farm Gourmet brand of products were introduced to the public. Also, www.picklinparson.com showcases the products and promotional elements for the brand.
