We are members of Southside United Methodist Church members in Jacksonville, Florida, committed to keeping our church in the UMC. We are defined by our relationship with Jesus. We are old-fashioned Methodists who love the Lord. We are also a church family passionate about welcoming everyone.

Why this page? We would like this page to be a haven, a return to not just the past but the future as well - a future of a united, welcoming, loving UMC congregation. We may still have our differences. We may not think alike, vote alike, have the same friends, nor cheer for the same teams. But we will be united once again, as a loving church family, who- despite our differences- worships together, loves Jesus, and supports and loves one another.

We welcome you into this virtual community. Please like us and follow us! Also, please share this page with as many as possible, especially members and friends of SUMC. Please return to this page often; we will refresh it regularly with news and testimonies.

Please send us any questions that you have about remaining UMC or to let us know if you would like to meet in person. We are happy to meet together for coffee or to host small group gatherings to talk about remaining UMC. There are several gatherings planned (below) which you are welcome to join or let us know if you would like to arrange for an alternate date and time.

We are grateful for your help and for your prayers. May God bestow His blessings upon you and your family.
