 "Cook Memorial aspires to be a vital church which reaches out and
supports out community by proclaiming the Gospel and providing comfort and love to all
through serving Christ"
We reach people for Christ by spreading the Good News of Jesus
Christ who is the hope of the world. We are dedicated to the principle that Jesus was
God made flesh on this earth who came to save us, redeem us, and show us how
to live, die, and be resurrected before our natural death. We can do all of these things
because God, through the Holy Spirit, has empowered us and enabled us to do these
mighty acts in God that we could not do on our own. Another of our primary
Goals is to reach people on behalf of Christ. We are always helping those less fortunate
than we, and are always on the lookout for unmet needs in our community. We have helped
with Thanksgiving baskets for those who could not otherwise celebrate; helped build
habitat for humanity houses; we supplied Quillows to the Sheriffs
Department to help traumatized children, and lent a helping hand when ever needed. Through
our Noisy Can program we help many local needs by collecting money each week for a
designated mission of the month. We also support mission worldwide by our contribution of
our fair share to the United Methodist Mission Programs. |

Our Choir adds a wonderful dimension to our worship service each
week. The
time and talents that these people give to us are awesome and inspiring. The
Choir rehearses each Wednesday at 7:00 PM and on Sunday before the
worship service.
