Simpson wants you to join us in welcoming our new Pastor---Rev. Dr. Earnest Watkins.
Grace
and Peace to you all from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! On
behalf of the Officers and members of Simpson Memorial UMC,
we welcome you to our web page. Simpson
Memorial United Methodist Church is an urban congregation located in the
heart of downtown Charleston West Virginia. We are a historically an
African -American congregation, dating back to 1866.
This
year marks our 138th year of existence of a vibrant congregation dedicated
to serving God, our fellow human beings, and all of God’s creation.
The
theme for this coming appointment year is “Is
God in it?” As
a church body we will strive to discern God’s will through prayer and
conviction; allowing God to happen instead of attempting to make God
happen. We pray that our
fellowship will reach beyond the walls of our church building and
invite all that allow God to happen in their lives to help build God's
Kingdom right here in Charleston West Virginia. Our
ministry is based on the love of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior who paid
the ultimate sacrifice for our salvation. We believe in Jesus the Liberating King of Kings, who
continues to empower people to live to the fullest of their potential and
to transcend the oppressive powers that destroy and disenfranchise the
human spirit from the spiritual center of our lives. Our
Jesus is alive today and every day. We
therefore invite you to join us in worship, ministry and spirit.
Let our open hearts, minds, and doors always be ready to do God’s
will. If you are looking for
a church home we welcome you and yours to be a part of this body of
Christ. If you are visiting
the Charleston Area and wish to attend one of our spirit filled services
then please drop by, you will find the love of Christ and the presence of
God Almighty alive and well in the sanctuary. Please
keep the Simpson Family in your prayers as we will be praying for you! Your Servant Leader
in Christ Rev. Dr. Earnest
Watkins
