REV C STEVE MELESTER

LEAD PASTOR

Welcome to Burnt Factory United Methodist Church! We are a church that is experiencing growth and are excited at the wonderful opportunities God is placing at our doorstep. We invite all who are searching, seeking, or wondering about church to come and be a part of our family. For all who may want to explore this thing called faith; we offer an opportunity to come and share in worship. Presently, we offer a traditional Sunday morning worship service at 8:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. with Sunday school meeting at 9:45.

Burnt Factory U.M.C. is a family of believers that are committed to Jesus Christ. We practice what Robert Schnase coined as “The Five Practices of a Fruitful Congregation” in that we are committed to: (1.) Radical hospitality (2.) Passionate worship (3.) Intentional faith development (4.) Risk-taking mission and service and (5.) Extravagant generosity. We are not a perfect place with perfect people for we all sin and fall short of the glory of God. But we are devoted to worshiping and proclaiming the truth, hope, grace, love, and good news of Jesus Christ in that: “Christ died for us while we were yet sinners; and that proves God love for us!” We are glad that you are visiting us and we hope and pray that you will find a bible believing, Christ-based family church. God bless you!
