August 1, 2025

As Methodists, we are called to cultivate more disciples and deeper disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of our community and world. You are invited to join us on the journey.

This week

Join Us for Worship


We often speak of God as Father- but what else is God? Who else is God? Join us for our Summer sermon series, Names of God! We will hear from passages in the Bible describing God as Father, the Almighty, Lord, I AM, and so many more. Each name has something to teach us about the many different attributes of God, and who we are called to be, being made in God's image and likeness.

Contemporary Playlist


  1. You Are Good by Bethel Music
  2. Same God by Elevation Worship
  3. Never Once by Matt Redman
  4. Holy Spirit by Jesus Culture

Donate School Supplies


Thank you for participating in this important school supply drive! Remember to drop off filled bags at the church by August 3.

Meals on Wheels Delivery Volunteers Needed


As a church, we have adopted a Meals on Wheels delivery route in Southern Pines that delivers on Mondays starting this month. Thanks to those who have already signed up! We would like to have enough volunteers so each person or team would only deliver once a month.

Our route currently consists of 5 deliveries and can be completed in an hour or so. If you are interested in learning more or would like to sign up to be a monthly driver, please contact Brian Hayes or the church office.

Pastor's Bible Study is back!


All are welcome to join us every Wednesday from 9:30–11am for a time of prayer, Scripture, and conversation. We’ll jump back into our weekly rhythm on Wednesday, August 6 as we dive into the Gospel of Luke.
