Lester Memorial Methodist Church

About this church

Lester Memorial Methodist Church in downtown Oneonta worships Sundays at 8:30 and 11:00 a.m. Its mission, “To Be Disciples, To Make Disciples,” is expressed through worship, study, outreach, and service. Nursery staff care for infants and toddlers during worship. During the 8:30 service, children in kindergarten through third grade move to a 9:00 Children’s Church; grade-level Sunday School for preschool and older children runs from 10:00 to 11:00 in the Children’s Building. The church is part of the Global Methodist Church through the North Alabama Conference.

Middle- and high-school students meet for Sunday School from 10:00 to 10:45 and a larger gathering from 5:30 to 7:15 p.m. with supper, music, games, and a short devotion. Wednesday small groups meet at 6:00, alongside a children’s Kid’s Club using Bible stories, crafts, music, and games. Service reaches well beyond the building: Lester supports weekend food for local schoolchildren, constructs beds for Blount County children, repairs Appalachian homes, and maintains mission partnerships in Honduras, the Philippines, and Senegal. Its youth also take part in Appalachian home repair, linking discipleship directly to practical work for families.
