The Ministries of North Chatham United Methodist Church
We are the ministers of North Chatham United Methodist Church. Our ministries are varied. Sometimes we do God’s work as individuals and other times we all work together. But we all strive to live by the words of John Wesley the founder of Methodism-
“Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can.”
The ministries of NC UMC over the years include: We welcome ideas and motivated individuals.
