Faith United Methodist Church

About This Business

Faith United Methodist Church, located at 53 Hendrix St, Waynesville, NC, has a rich history dating back to 1940 when it was first established as Hazelwood Methodist Church. The church's beginnings were marked by the efforts of Harry Denman, the Executive Director of the General Board of Evangelism, and two young ministers from Alabama who preached in the community to gather support for the church. Under the leadership of Rev. Odell Brown, the church was chartered and began holding Sunday evening services. Over the years, the church has undergone changes, including a move to its current location on Hendrix Street in 1960. Today, Faith United Methodist Church is a small membership congregation composed of individuals from diverse backgrounds, education, experience, and professions. The church is committed to its mission in the community and has a heart for those in need. Its traditional worship services are informal, welcoming, and encourage participation from the congregation. The church also strives to work with older adults in the community and offers various activities, including a monthly newsletter, 'The Faith,' and a community fellowship biscuit sale on Saturday mornings. With Pastor Rev. Jed Tate at the helm, Faith United Methodist Church continues to serve its community, following the Church Year and basing its Sunday worship on lectionary texts. The church is affiliated with the United Methodist Church and provides links to official United Methodist websites, including UMC.org, WNCCUMC.org, and Cokesbury.com. Faith United Methodist Church is a place where individuals can come together to worship, learn, and serve, and its doors are open to all who seek a welcoming and supportive community.
