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


Join us this Lenten season as we reflect on the profound last words of Jesus while on the cross. Through this powerful sermon series, we'll uncover the love and truth revealed in Christ’s last moments, drawing us closer to the heart of the Gospel and preparing us to celebrate the joy of Easter.

Flannery O'Connor Book Study


Through tales of violence, hatred, illness, and oddness, Flannery O’Connor presents her readers

with opportunities to ponder the limitations of human understandings of truth, by way of

peculiar characters in peculiar situations. Like Jesus, Flannery tells strange stories. Flannery’s

strange short stories rattle and puzzle the reader while subtly revealing grace.


Beginning April 22 and ending June 3, Pastor Jabe will be leading a Tuesday evening class at 6pm on Flannery and her works entitled: Beauty in Suffering. We will make use of her

short stories and a couple of documentaries for our material. Participants will need to purchase

their own copy of her Complete Stories or Collected Works. For the class to be taught, a

minimum of 5 participants must sign up.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: O’Connor uses violence and intense language to convey her messages. Although she is a devout Christian, who is subtly writing stories of grace and epiphany, O’Connor will use the language of the people she based many of her characters off of in her early 20 th century Georgia home. Certainly not a racist herself, O’Connor does write in characters using slurs to emphasize the ignorance of some characters in stories set in the early half of the 20 th century; the period of time in which she wrote, and a period of time in which racism was still overwhelmingly blatant in the deep south.


Contact Pastor Jabe with questions and/or to sign up.

Book & CD Swap


Looking to refresh your bookshelf or music collection? Join us for a Book & CD Swap between services on March 23! Bring gently used books and CDs to share, and take home something new to enjoy.
