He dreamed of building a church with a simple goal: reaching those far from Christ. With the help of people committed to seeing that dream fulfilled, the church has experienced significant growth. John grew up near London where he worked in the business world for five years before moving to Los Angeles and deciding to become a pastor. After attending seminary, John moved to San Diego where he planted Ember Church. [Read More](#) You can expect friendly and authentic people, engaging and relevant music and worship, compelling preaching from the Bible, and an opportunity to encounter God. You can expect to find a place where creativity and fellowship come together to worship God in new and exciting ways. You can expect to be encouraged, challenged, convicted, excited and, most importantly, welcomed. The mission of Ember Church is to glorify God by making disciples through the gospel of Jesus Christ. God’s mission and the mission of His Church are inseparably linked. If God’s mission is to be glorified through the redemption and reconciliation of a people, the Church’s mission must orient around the glory of God and seek to glorify Him through redemption and reconciliation. Our vision is to be a church of grace-filled people, empowered for community transformation and new church formation, so that the Gospel is faithfully transferred from person to person and generation to generation. Connect (or "Missional") Groups are an essential part of our church, as they provide a place where deeper fellowship and better support for one another can take place. Considering that the early church worshipped in large settings - in the synagogues - as well as in homes, we unite together similarly in order to be in deeper fellowship with God and one another. We love music. Expect to hear everything from hymns to the most recent contemporary music you hear on the radio. We use music to show our Lord how much we love and honor Him. We're currently meeting at Evangelical Free Church of San Diego after their services are over for the day. There is tons of parking behind the church and you can (sometimes) find two-hour street parking available on the street.

Before moving, Will led outreach programs on the streets of South Philly, working mostly with the homeless to provide them with food and other necessities. When Lisa began working with our youth group, it consisted of only a handful of high schoolers and a dozen junior highers. Less than a year later, we have had the privilege of seeing this small ministry grow and flourish under her direction.

LET US NOT GIVE UP MEETING TOGETHER, AS SOME ARE IN THE HABIT OF DOING, BUT LET US ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER - AND ALL THE MORE AS YOU SEE THE DAY APPROACHING. # **MISSIONAL COMMUNITY** ### [FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH MAGNOLIA](https://first-united-methodist-church-magnolia-33201.mydraftsite.cloud) Life Groups are an essential part of our church, as they provide a place where deeper fellowship and better support for one another can take place. Considering that the early church worshipped in large settings in the synagogues as well as in homes, we unite together similarly in order to be in deeper fellowship with God and one-another. God has reconciled us not only to Himself but also to each other. This "each other" is called His Church. Thus, we intentionally strive toward community through men's/women's groups, home gatherings, and other personal settings. We have been created to live in community and not in isolation. Physically, we do live in a community, but spiritually, socially, and relationally we often live our lives in isolation. We find ourselves with no one to turn to when we have a major issue that has just surfaced in our life. Living in community affords us the opportunity to more wholly experience God through close relationships as we play and pray together, as we encourage and help one another, and as we study and live out God’s word together. We believe the church is the family of God called to live on mission to advance His Kingdom. Because we are God's children through Jesus, we are to live as brothers and sisters. The church is not a building, place, or program, but God's people. Living in community with one another is essential to growing in the Gospel and becoming more like Christ. Showing up to a Sunday gathering is great, but it is our desire to see everyone involved in a Missional Community. A Missional Community is not a mid-week program, but a family of missionary servants who are making disciple-making disciples daily. We would love to see all of our Missional Communities hanging out throughout the week, eating meals together and serving their neighborhoods. It is not something you check off a list, but a way of doing life. Currently, we have seven Missional Communities and are multiplying continually.

Your generosity helps create a church where people feel welcomed, led, and loved—a place where life-changing stories are being written every week. On behalf of those stories, thank you for giving from your heart. We give in order to be blessed, not for fear of anything negative in our lives. We give out of gratitude and love! You can give your gift safely and securely online - this is one of the easiest ways to give to our church. Thank you. As people of God we give because God has given so much to us. God doesn't need our money, but he does want what it represents: our purposes, passions, and priorities. We give to make a Kingdom impact locally in San Diego, across the country, as well as globally through mission efforts. We give to increase the Kingdom through our generosity so that others may know Jesus better! Ember believes in creating opportunities to serve and bless our local San Diego community. 50% of your financial contributions stay in the area, enabling us to do the work that God has called us to in our local community.  We have specific ministries we support, as well as our own initiatives that we spend your generous donations on. When Jesus commissioned his disciples before His ascension, He said, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." At Ember, we take this command of making disciples in all nations very seriously, which leads us to giving 50% of your tithe and offerings to work God is doing globally. We have missionaries sent from Ember, as well as Global Partnerships living out the Great Commission all over the world.

He dreamed of building a church with a simple goal: reaching those far from Christ. With the help of people committed to seeing that dream fulfilled, the church has experienced significant growth. John grew up near London where he worked in the business world for five years before moving to Los Angeles and deciding to become a pastor. After attending seminary, John moved to San Diego where he planted Ember Church.

You can expect to find a place where creativity and fellowship come together to worship God in new and exciting ways. You can expect to be encouraged, challenged, convicted, excited and, most importantly, welcomed. The mission of Ember Church is to glorify God by making disciples through the gospel of Jesus Christ. God’s mission and the mission of His Church are inseparably linked. If God’s mission is to be glorified through the redemption and reconciliation of a people, the Church’s mission must orient around the glory of God and seek to glorify Him through redemption and reconciliation. Our vision is to be a church of grace-filled people, empowered for community transformation and new church formation, so that the Gospel is faithfully transferred from person to person and generation to generation. Connect (or "Missional") Groups are an essential part of our church, as they provide a place where deeper fellowship and better support for one another can take place. Considering that the early church worshipped in large settings - in the synagogues - as well as in homes, we unite together similarly in order to be in deeper fellowship with God and one another. We love music. Expect to hear everything from hymns to the most recent contemporary music you hear on the radio. We use music to show our Lord how much we love and honor Him. We're currently meeting at Evangelical Free Church of San Diego after their services are over for the day. There is tons of parking behind the church and you can (sometimes) find two-hour street parking available on the street.

We believe in serving the greater community, and by donating non-perishable food items or by volunteering a few hours of your time, you are making a difference for God's kingdom. Please contact the church office if you are interested in helping serve in our Stewpot Ministry. Our church is growing in our family ministries all the time. Join us for one of our church-wide potlucks, family events, yearly Easter festivals, fall festivals, Christmas events, and more. Check our church calendar for dates and details! Our church supports several local and Arkansas missions and ministries, such as our FUMC Pastor's Pantry,(which is a small non-perishable food bank for local people in need), our Stewpot Ministry, The Caring Place (a ministry for those with memory loss, Alzheimer's, and Dementia), the Methodist Family Health Counseling Clinic, 200,000 More Reasons(an Arkansas United Methodist Church ministry that focuses on childhood hunger, literacy, and at-risk children), the Wesley House at Southern Arkansas University(a United Methodist campus ministry that reaches and serves local college students), and more.

Our church was organized in **1853**, and just one year later, on **April 18, 1854**, a frame structure was erected on the present church grounds for the **First Methodist Episcopal Church, South**. As the congregation grew, a **brick building** replaced the frame structure in **December 1892**. Tragically, in **1899**, a fire swept through the entire Magnolia square, destroying both the town center and the church. Services continued in the old frame building while a new brick facility was built at the corner of **Madison and Main Streets**. Completed in **1912**, that sanctuary served as the congregation’s worship home for nearly fifty years. In **1936**, the **Leland Clegg Education Building** was constructed to support growing ministries of Christian education. The **present sanctuary** was dedicated on **September 25, 1949**, marking a new era of worship and fellowship. By **1954**, a second educational wing connected the sanctuary to the Clegg Building, and in **1960**, an additional expansion added a **fellowship hall, parlor, chapel, kitchen, and classrooms**—spaces that fostered community gatherings, learning, and service for generations. The 1980s brought a renewed emphasis on outreach. In **1982**, the **Stewpot Ministry** began, serving hot meals three evenings each week to anyone in need—a tradition of compassion that continues today. In **1987**, the church purchased a historic Magnolia home at **311 W. Main Street**, expanding the church campus. Two years later, on **August 14, 1989**, the **Child Development Center** opened, offering quality weekday care and education for children from infancy through elementary grades—another vital expression of the church’s mission to serve families. In **1998**, the congregation embarked on an ambitious renovation and building program, updating much of the existing facility and planning a new fellowship hall and children’s center. Just one week before construction was to begin, tragedy struck again. On **February 24, 1998**, a devastating **fire destroyed the chapel, fellowship hall, and kitchen**. Despite the loss, the church family’s faith never wavered. Worship and ministry continued in the remaining spaces, including the **Couch Building**, originally built as a storage and van facility, which became a hub for youth and adult activities until rebuilding was complete. By **September 1, 1999**, the new **Fellowship Hall and Children’s Center** were consecrated. In **November 2000**, three key areas of the church were officially named to honor those who shaped the life of the congregation: Together with the entire church campus, these spaces stand as **symbols of love, sacrifice, and prayerful perseverance**. Today, Magnolia First United Methodist Church continues to grow in faith and service. As we honor our history, we look to the future with **vision and hope**, committed to creating new ministries that make a difference in Magnolia and around the world. **“Built on a foundation of prayer, we continue to serve, grow, and share the love of Christ with all.”** *The United Methodist Church forms disciples of Jesus Christ who, empowered by the Holy Spirit, love boldly, serve joyfully, and lead courageously in local communities and worldwide connections.* **Love Boldly**: We passionately love God and, like Jesus, embrace and include people of every age, nation, race, gender, and walk of life. (Matthew 22:37-39 | John 13:34-35) **Serve Joyfully**: With the heart of Christ, we journey alongside the most vulnerable among us, offering care and compassion with joy. (Psalm 100:1 | Nehemiah 8:10 | John 13:14-15 | 1 Peter 4:10) **Lead Courageously:** Following Jesus’ example, we resist and dismantle all systems of evil, injustice, and oppression, striving for peace, justice, and reconciliation. (Joshua 1:9 | Ephesians 6:10) “The United Methodist Church forms disciples of Jesus Christ who, empowered by the Holy Spirit, **love boldly, serve joyfully**, and **lead courageously** in local communities and worldwide connections.” **An inclusive community where everyone has a place at the table.** At our church, **everyone is welcome**. We believe Christ’s table is open to all who seek His grace and presence. No matter your background, questions, or journey of faith, **you belong here**. Your prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness make a meaningful difference in the life of this congregation and beyond. As part of the **worldwide United Methodist connection**, our church shares more than a name—we share a mission. United Methodists are united by: Through this global network, United Methodists are often among the **first responders to disasters and human need**, offering compassion, relief, and long-term recovery in the name of Christ. We honor our founder John Wesley’s approach to faith—an invitation to think deeply and live faithfully through the balanced use of Scripture, experience, reason, and tradition. Wesley also offered three simple rules that guide the United Methodist way of life: These principles shape our daily discipleship and remind us that faith is both personal and communal, both spiritual and practical. United Methodists across the globe are committed to making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. We live out that mission through **four key areas of focus:** Through these efforts, the United Methodist Church continues to share hope, promote justice, and embody Christ’s love in every corner of the world. Together, we are part of something larger than ourselves: a movement of grace, connection, and hope. It is in our spiritual DNA to take an active stance in society is nothing new for followers of Jesus Christ formed steeped in the teachings of John Wesley. He set the example for us not to separate love of God from love of neighbor, worship and personal holiness from working for holiness in society. Methodists have always been known as a denomination involved with people's lives, including their political and social struggles. Such involvement is an expression of the personal change we experience in our baptism and conversion.  Office Hours: Mon - Thurs, 8 AM - 4 PM | Fri, 8 AM - 12 PM Copyright 2026 First United Methodist Church.
