OUR MINISTRIES

The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all the parts are many,they form one body. So it is with Christ.

1 Corinthians 12:12 Come plug in and be blessed!

Flame and Cross Newsletter

We publish a newsletter, distributed on the first Sunday of every month. This is intended to keep our congregation informed of what we are doing and to let them know of any upcoming events. Each month, in addition to our members, 70 copies are mailed to 5 states and 1 foreign country.

Men's Fellowship

The Methodist Men meet once a month along with the Methodist Women. We host The Annual Shrimp Boil in hopes to raise money for the benefit of doing what God has called us to do- help and love others. We are here to uplift one another. We want to live Christ outloud.

Women's Fellowship

Birthdays are special and many church members and freinds make it more so by gathering at a local restaurant and enjoying a birthday meal together. We do this once a month. Come and join us.
