About us
Greetings in the wonderful name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
We warmly invite you to visit us at Ebenezer Methodist Church. We are a growing and vibrant congregation that loves God and is committed to serving Him through ministry—both in our local community and around the world. Our mission is to make disciples for Jesus Christ through our witness, worship, service, and love.
Founded in 1840, Ebenezer has deep roots in this community. We believe God has called us to be faithful disciples—continually transformed by His grace and devoted to becoming fishers of men. We live out this calling through weekly worship, relational and community-focused missions, and the study of God’s Word.
We look forward to meeting you and invite you to grow with us!
our pastor:

He also enjoys reading, problem-solving, fishing, and riding ATVs. His ethics and morals are rooted in the love of Christ, and he values honesty, decency, loyalty, and respect.
