Happy August, Church!

If you did not already know, August is one of the most strategic times in the life of a church. It is really like our New Year, in that everything starts as far as our programming and outreach. School is back, so routines are back, Bible studies kick off, new ministries find their birthplace in the fall, and we move toward the season of Advent with great purpose.

All that being the case, I want to encourage all of us to be diligent this fall in our prayers and in our presence. If we use this season as a positive springboard and commit ourselves to the work of the Kingdom all together, I believe that we can accomplish great things for God.

I am excited about all that God is doing and where He is leading. Our part is to follow and obey and, as I often say, try and stay out of His way! The rhyming of that sentence is purely accidental!

Let's go, Faith!

In Him,

Pastor Scott

As our students, teachers, and school staff members prepare to head back to school, we'd love to pray over you for the upcoming academic year! Bring your backpacks and join us during our Sunday Service at 10:30 AM. We'll also be giving out a special tag for each of you to clip onto your bag! We look forward to seeing you there.

Wednesdays at Faith is our weekly Bible study for all—a welcoming place to grow deeper in God's Word together. Join us starting August 19 as we kick off the fall with a new teaching series led by Pastor Scott. Each week, we'll gather for Scripture-centered teaching, meaningful discussion, and prayer as we seek to know Christ more and live out our faith in everyday life. Whether you're new to the Bible or have studied it for years, you're invited to come as you are and grow with us.

Join us for Dinner Club on Thursday at 6:00 PM at El Nopal in Cartersville! Dinner Club is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy great food, meaningful conversation, and fellowship with others from our church family in a relaxed setting.

Whether you're a regular or it's your first time joining us, we'd love to have you around the table. Be sure to RSVP online as soon as possible so we can provide the restaurant with an accurate headcount. For questions, please contact Amber Paul at mousebug7@gmail.com. 

Join Faith Methodist Church as we support the Backpack Buddies Program by participating in the Downtown Cartersville 5K this August! You can run, walk, or register as a "Ghost Walker" to support children in need throughout Bartow County.

Participants must register online individually, but we'll gather as a Faith Methodist group on race day for a group photo before walking or running together.

We hope you'll join us as we serve our community and represent Faith Methodist!

For questions, or if you plan to join, please contact Vicky Knowles at knowles8807@gmail.com.

Join us for Women’s Bible Study every Tuesday at 10:30 AM! This is a welcoming space to grow in your faith, connect with other women, and dive deeper into God’s Word together. Whether you’re new to Bible study or have been attending for years, you’ll find encouragement, meaningful discussion, and community.

This gathering will unite students from across our conference for an afternoon of worship, encouragement, fellowship, and spiritual renewal. There is something powerful about young people coming together as one body in Christ—lifting up the name of Jesus, hearing God's Word, and being reminded that they are not alone in their faith. We believe this event will be a meaningful opportunity for students to connect with one another and be challenged to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ.

Location: Church on the Hill, 4600 Nelson Brogdon Blvd., Sugar Hill, GA 30518. Date: Saturday, August 8, 2026. Time: 1:00 PM–5:00 PM. Cost: Free. For any questions, please contact Peyton Weimann, our Student Ministries Director, at youth@faithmethodistchurch.com.

This support group is a welcoming and safe space for anyone who would like to attend—guests and drop-ins are always welcome. There is no cost, and it is open to the public.

While the Depression Support Group is hosted at our church, it is primarily secular in nature. This simply means the focus is on providing a supportive, encouraging environment for one another, though faith and personal beliefs are always welcome to be shared. Please note, this is not group therapy, but a place to connect, be heard, and walk alongside others.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Eddie Cabaniss at platyfurmany@gmail.com.
