Asbury Memorial United Methodist Church- Where the joy of God is expressed creatively.
Asbury Memorial is a place where all people can develop their spirituality, use their talents, and grow in faith as we seek to love, serve, and celebrate God, each other, and our community.
Asbury Memorial UMC was organized in 1909. The cornerstone of the sanctuary was placed in 1921 and the large Education Building was added in 1954. Asbury’s ministry flourished in the 1950’s and 60’s, but saw radical changes in the 1970’s and 80’s. By 1990, church attendance had shrunk to around twenty-five people and the average age of the members was eighty. The members had to face the possibility of closing the church doors.
In 1993, Asbury turned a corner. The church began to emphasize inclusiveness, the fine arts, and the positive news of Jesus Christ. As word spread, attendance and programs grew and continue to grow. We are very grateful to our older members who kept the faith and kept the doors of Asbury open. We hope you will be a part of Asbury history as we seek to experience God and grow in our faith through scripture, tradition, experience, and reason.
