Who We Are

To reach all people with the Good News that Jesus Christ died for our sins

Epworth UMC has been in the Phenix City area for over 100 years. However, the church has a fresh attitude of growth and outreach. We seek to have a welcoming atmosphere that opens its arms to reach out to new persons. We are excited to have new people come and worship with us as we grow deeper in our commitment to Christ. We invite you to come grow with us.

What to Expect

What are services like?
The 8:30am and 11:00am services are traditional in that well known hyms are sung. There is a congregational prayer, readings from the Bible and preaching by our pastor. At our 9:45am contemporary worship service, we sing praise and worship songs that are led by our Praise Band. The service includes a time of prayer and a sermon. The dress is casual, the music upbeat and our praise and worship comes from the heart.

Leadership

Grant Parker

Reverend Grant Parker is a native of Phenix City. He has served as the pastor of the Hatchechubbee, Jernigan, Pittsview and Uchee churches on the Pittsview (AL) Charge, and also many south Alabama churches as well as Gulfview UMC in Panama City Beach, Florida before coming to Epworth in 2008. Brother Grant is a graduate of Central High School in Phenix City, Huntingdon College and Candler School of Theology at Emory University. Grant's hunger for sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ through evangelism and missions had led him to participate in outreach efforts at home as well as in countries beyond our boarders.
