Comment: Methodism first came to Amelia Island in 1822 when the South Carolina Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church appointed the Reverend Elijah Sinclair as the first minister to East Florida. Sinclair arrived within months of Florida being ceded to the United States by Spain in 1821 and was welcomed by Protestant Scotch and English settlers who opened their homes to him for services. The congregation continued to worship in homes and the Pioneer Hotel after the town was relocated in the 1850s from Old Town, about a mile north of the present site of Fernandina Beach. In the mid-1800s a wood frame church was built on the northwest corner of Broome and Sixth Streets. The old church was torn down after it was replaced by the building on Centre Street. Construction of the brick Classical Revival style building began in 1926 on property donated by E.W. Bailey and John W. Simmons. The sanctuary was complete by 1930 and the first services were held on the second Sunday in February. Fund raising to complete work on the church was difficult during the Great Depression of the 1930s, and the three-story classroom section at the rear of the building was still unfinished when Bishop Paul Kern dedicated the church in 1940. The work was finally completed in 1951. It is the oldest United Methodist congregation in the Florida conference.

Comment: It is a complex job to get all the technological magic to work, interspersed with beautiful music, while sharing the good news in a land devastated by illness and death. Yet, that is exactly what you do every week, whether you have a live or virtual congregation. Thank you. We appreciate all that each of you is doing to make this happen for all of us. 🌹

Comment: Welcoming to ALL and striving to love like Jesus, Memorial offers three distinct Sunday worship services (with the same message) each Sunday. People connect with God in different ways so there are worship options with traditional hymns with a choir and organ to contemporary music with a band. Youll find something for all ages and kids are always welcome in worship. Worship opportunities, and this congregation, are uniquely intergenerational!A warm, sincere congregation with experienced and accessible leaders. More than just a church, Memorial is a community offering so many opportunities to serve, learn, and grow together! You leave feeling more hopeful and connected to God, and eachother, every Sunday.
