    Our new preacher Jeff McDonald and our new associate pastor Trent Oliver are doing a great job at leading our congregation into a loving fellowship. Jeff's sermons are applicable to our daily life and are easy to follow. Give yourself a treat and come to listen to him on Sundays!

  • Katherine Beecham9 years ago

    Beautiful church. Congregation was very welcoming and helpful. Two problems. 1. They teach infant baptism. Jesus was not biptised as an infant and Jesus is the example by which we should live. Bible does not teach infant baptism. They were teaching this to the young children. 2. A women was preaching and the Bible explicitly says in 1 Corinthians 14:33 that women should remain silent in church and in 1 Timothy 2 that women should not teach men. We asked the women pastor about those verses and she said the Bible is wrong because she knows that she felt God calling here to teach there and that we didn't understand the history. The Bible is NOT ever wrong. Sermon felt scripted as well. Like it was written and just read word for word with no feeling or room for the Holy Spirit to speak through the Pastor. My kids enjoyed the childcare and all the teachers seemed very loving.

    Beautiful historic Methodist church.

    . . . a wonderful church and a slew of opportunities for involvement, particularly for those families with children. The negative comments posted from three years ago reflect a different staff and leadership, which has changed in recent months. Jeff, Trent, and many others are doing great things for FUMC Nac!
