Military Ministry

The purpose of the Epworth UMC Military Ministry is to recognize, support, and provide Christian encouragement to members and family members who are serving or have served in any branch of the military, with a special emphasis on those members and families who are currently serving, as well as attracting additional military personnel and their families to worship and fully participate in various ministries at Epworth UMC.

We at Epworth appreciate both our current and former military members and their families very much for their patriotism, hard work, and willingness to take risks and serve in far-away, often dangerous places so that we may enjoy the freedoms we enjoy, especially the freedom to worship. We are pleased to offer our military personnel and families support and Christian encouragement during deployments and whenever they need our support.

We thank our active military members and their families by sending them cards to let them know we appreciate their service and that we are praying for them every day. We’ll also keep them abreast of Epworth Happenings by sending them DVDs of our Sunday services, upon their request.

We recognize and celebrate our military members and their families on important military-related holidays such as Armed Forces Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, POW/MIA Recognition Day, and Veteran’s Day.

If you are a military person or family who already lives in the Phenix City, AL, Columbus, GA, or Fort Benning, GA area seeking a great, Biblical place to worship, or if you are a military person or family just relocating to our area and seeking that kind of place to worship, we at Epworth UMC invite you to join us, worship with us, and help us strengthen our military ministry.
