Cochran Chapel Umc

just did a little volunteer work in regards to helping out with some garden work

My entire childhood I attended a Baptist church. Around the age of 18, I became jaded with the teachings of the church and sort of wandered around spiritually for decades. I still had faith but was looking for a church that had some of the ceremony of Catholicism, but did not discriminate against people based upon their sexual preference. I wanted a church that was not a mega-​church with maps on how to navigate around the buildings, that didn’t feel the need to have a «house band» in order to entice younger parishioners, but was small enough that over a small period of time, I would know several people by name. I wanted to belong to a church that did not stand in judgement of people and stayed relevant and current in its teachings. I believe that Cochran Chapel has more than satisfied everything I was looking for, and then some. We have a church choir and one of the most diverse group of parishioners (race, age, etc.) that I have ever been a part of. There was no pressure to join and there are so many activities that any one at any age can participate in. This little gem is one of the best secrets in town. If you ever want to just drop in on one of the Sunday sermons (8:30am or 11am), please say hello to Pastor Joe and his wife Suzanne.
