Welcome
WELCOME! We're so glad you've stopped by...
As you move through the pages of our site, we hope you capture a glimpse of who we are and of our life together.
We believe a balanced life of faith means that we care for one another, reach beyond ourselves, explore our faith and worship together.
So we care, reach, explore and worship. We're not perfect people by any means but we invite you into a journey of living more fully into the marvelous grace of God we've found in following Jesus Christ.

Prayer List Update
We are going to restart the Prayer List from scratch. As soon as possible, please let me know, the names of those who should be on there. Thank you. So far, we only have five names.
2025 Charge Conference
I just received word on the date/time for Elam's Charge Conference. Please save the date for Wednesday, October 29 at 6:00 p.m. Our new District Superintendent Steve Pittman has decided that all Charge Conferences will be with individual churches this year. In other words, there will not be group Charge Conferences as was the case with our last two District Superintendents. However, so that all churches can have an individual Charge Conference, Rev. Pittman has enlisted the assistance of a handful of retired pastors to lead some of the Charges Conferences. In our case, the Rev. Jeff Raffauf, former pastor of West Lawn UMC, will be leading ours.
