We are a diverse church, offering both contemporary and traditional worship services. During the year, there are four combined services: Easter, July 4th, Homecoming and Christmas.
A mission minded people, we participate in many projects which include LICS (Lexington Interfaith Community Services) Food Pantry & Thrift Shop, Souper Bowl offering, Red Cross Blood Drives, Heifer International Project, Adopt-A-Family, emergency supply boxes to Russia, and Operation Christmas Child.
The United Methodist Women provide migrant health kits, midwifery kits, SisterCare personal care bags & school supplies for the children, and a Christmas meal for incarcerated women. Annually we provide Thanksgiving meals to shut-ins, seniors and other needy, two SisterCare shelters, Killingsworth, and Lexington Children’s Shelter.
For a number of years, we have provided meals for the Salkehatchie Summer Work Project participants and one of our own youth has been a participant. We have also had members participate in Habitat for Humanity building projects in Lexington County. Youth and adult members have planned, financed and participated in mission trips to Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Charleston and Orangeburg, SC. We also had ten members go on a mission work trip to the Red Bird Mission in Appalachia for a week and one member stayed for one year. We have had members go on mission trips with Doctors Without Borders to Haiti, the Christian Dental Society to the Dominican Republic, and a trip with other dental professionals to Honduras.
Through our children’s department, children from the Village of Hope in Columbia were given an opportunity to experience worship and hospitality in a rural church. These children spent the day fishing, seeing a vegetable garden, swimming, petting the many animals available in the country and potting a small plant to take back with them to remember the day.
When a death occurs in our membership, a meal is provided to the family by the women of the church.
We have Lay Shepherds who assist the pastor in visitation to our shut-ins and seniors. They also make hospital visits in the pastor’s absence.
Annually, members and community residents enjoy the Easter Egg Hunt, and Fun Day activities provided through the Sunday School department and a Fall festival sponsored through the Wonderful Wednesdays program.
In past years we have held joint Thanksgiving and Sunrise services with neighboring churches - Nazareth Lutheran, Florence Baptist, and Pond Branch United Methodist.
