This welcoming church states on its website: (Website Link, CLICK HERE) “Welcome to the Gardner Chestnut Street United Methodist Church. It is our privilege to welcome and greet all who seek the kindness and love of Jesus Christ – to welcome to our church home and to our hearts you and the children who grace our lives.” A central theme explored in the newsletter is the relationship between old wisdom and new innovation within faith, drawing on biblical passages like Ecclesiastes and Luke to encourage the integration of tradition with modern expression.
