“We envision faith communities where all God’s people are welcomed at table, nurtured and transformed to be Christ to others in the world."

Adams United Methodist Church Fire, January 23, 2013: 

Thank you for your prayers today for Adams United Methodist Church members, Pastor Carl Perez, and the firefighters. Although the sanctuary was lost, their fellowship building was saved. No one was injured, praise God.

   Currently, Adam's congregation is worshipping at  Metropolitan UMC (their sister church on the Leemont Charge) at the 10 am Sunday Service.  Sunday School begins at 9 am.  Adams church family is in the process of discerning their future.  As needs unfold, information will be posted here at the District Website. Click here for their current needs.  Please continue to pray for this congregation and Pastor Perez.  Rev. Perez can be reached at pastor@leemontcharge.org
