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.

Announcements

  • Building Expansion Program Update

    As the new year approaches, we find ourselves at an inflection point in our history. Very soon, the building program, which has been going on for a long time, will break ground on the planned renovation of the Fellowship Hall.  We have been focused on getting this project completed, and significant resources have been dedicated to make this happen. In one way or another, the entire church and community has contributed to the success of this project.  For more information on our Fellowship Hall renovation and expansion, including an update from the building committee, please click here.  Please reach out to Melanie or any member of the building committee with any questions or comments.

  • Bible Study

    If you want to develop a closer, more intimate, personal relationship with God then you will want to join our new weekly bible study starting on Monday, January 13, at 7 PM, on Zoom. We will be using Richard Foster's book Celebration of Discipline. Foster shows us how the spiritual disciplines from the Bible are God's means of grace for building an interpersonal relationship with God - a relationship that God wants and for which our souls hunger.  The book and a companion study guide are both available on Amazon. Both will be used in the study.  If you need assistance obtaining the books, please let Pastor Jesse know.  Join us and see just how deep your relationship with our Creator can be.  A link will be sent via email each Monday for all to participate.  

  • Sunday School Outreach

    The children’s Sunday School classes will be putting together birthday cake “boxes” for the Pomaria Food Bank in January.  Our goal is to make 100 boxes!  Each box will need a disposable 9x13 pan with lid, a cake mix, cake frosting, and one 12 oz. can of Sprite.  Supplies will be collected in November, December, and part of January.  Please place donations in the box marked “BIRTHDAY CAKES” in the back of the church.  Extra items could also include: candles, streamers, small paper plates, or napkins.  Let’s help give those in need who may not get a birthday cake often!

  • Pomaria Food Bank

    We continue to collect items for the Pomaria Food Bank.  Supplies are extremely low and all donations are urgently needed!  Current needs:  dried beans, grits, pasta, rice, and peanut butter.  Please consider picking up a few extra items when you're out doing your grocery shopping.  Our continued support of this ministry is greatly appreciated.  You may also drop your goods off in the donation box at the Pomaria Food Bank located at 110 Victoria Street in Pomaria behind Wilson's Grocery.

  • Knitting & Crochet Group

    If you're interested in learning to knit or crochet, please contact Mimi Rogers.  The group gathers on Tuesdays in the fellowship hall.  All skill levels are welcome.  It is never too late to join!  The group recently completed many beautiful blankets and pillows and donated them to Newberry Hospital to be distributed to patients and newborns.  The fellowship is great and donations are welcome!
