In August 1985 at the Disciples’ Des Moines General Assembly, the Reverend Dr. Humbert was elected General Minister and President, the chief executive of the 1.2 million member denomination. Before serving as Deputy for eight years, Dr. Humbert was pastor of congregations for twenty-eight years in Ohio and Maryland.

Foster was the first in the family line of ordained ministers leading to Humbert.
