About
Us
We
are a mid-size church with about 400 members, some of whom are
long-time reisdents of Rural Hall, but many others who have joined us
after moving to this area from other communities or states.
Our
congregation includes those who have grown up as United Methodists,
others who have come to accept Jesus as adults, and those who have
transferred their membership form other denominations.
You'll
find us a friendly congregation that welcomes visitors and encourages
active involvement.
