"A small church with a Great Heart"

Our History

 

Ivey Memorial has a storied history that dates back to its founding in 1909. Initially gathering in the home of a devoted member, the congregation soon saw the need for a dedicated place of worship. In 1910, a modest yet meaningful church was constructed, serving as the spiritual center for the growing community. However, nature’s fury struck in the form of a storm, damaging the original building. Undeterred, the resilient congregation rallied together, and in 1947, a new church rose from the ashes, symbolizing hope and perseverance. Over the years, the church has undergone repairs and renovations, ensuring its continued presence as a beacon of faith and fellowship. Today, Ivey Memorial Methodist Church stands as a testament to the enduring faith of its members and the unwavering commitment to serving both its congregation and the surrounding community.

Mission

Our Mission is to make disciples of Jesus Christ who worship passionately, love extravagantly, and witness boldly.

In our worship, we desire to surrender to and be fully devoted to one God—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We are passionate about what is important to God.

Jesus calls those who follow Him to love God wholeheartedly and love their neighbors as themselves. Our desire is to demonstrate to the world the extravagant love of God in the person of Jesus Christ.

We have been entrusted with a lifesaving and transforming message that we must share with others. Our witness is bold, compelling and fearless. Our mission advances when individuals become disciples of Jesus Christ and join God’s mission to make more disciples.
