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 from other denominations.

You'll find us a friendly congregation that welcomes visitors and encourages active involvement.
