Welcome

New Hope United Methodist Church is a delightful, historic church founded in 1795 in the beautiful Pomaria countryside of Newberry County, South Carolina.

We share in the United Methodist Church's mission of making disciples of Christ for the transformation of the world by making disciples of Christ of ourselves, both individually and communally as the Body of Christ. In doing this, we see discipleship as actively following in the footsteps of Jesus. We are intentionally loving as Jesus loves, caring as Jesus cares, and serving as Jesus serves.

  • Bible Study

    Bible Study will resume on Monday, July 13 via Zoom at 7PM.  Please contact Pastor Jesse if you are not receiving the link via email.  We will dig deeply into Paul’s letter to a troubled church. Join us as we explore how Christians should counter the world’s messaging and stand firm in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

    The world of the Galatians was subject to many conflicting messages each claiming to be the answer to happiness and security. Even the church was affected. Paul’s letter to the church fought back against these worldly messages to point the church back to the truth of the Gospel of Jesus.  Today’s world bombards us with an even greater variety of messages delivered through the widespread prevalence of multimedia presentations that dazzle and attract. As in Paul’s day, even the church can be affected Christians need to hear the clear truth of the Gospel to shield ourselves from the allure of the world and its destructive messages.
