Our Heritage In Holly Springs

Since 1893, Holly Springs United Methodist has gathered on Holly Springs Road to worship, pray, and serve as a steady witness for Christ in Pendergrass and the surrounding community. Generations have found hope here, passing on a living Methodist faith while continually welcoming new neighbors into God's unfolding story of grace.

Our Mission As A Church

Our mission is to make disciples of Jesus Christ who worship passionately, love extravagantly, and witness boldly. Week by week, we open Scripture, lift our voices in song, and serve our neighbors so people of all ages can follow Jesus in daily life with deepening faith, softened hearts, and willing hands.

Our Hopeful Future

As a congregation within the Global Methodist Church and the North Georgia Global Methodist Conference, we look toward the future with steady, Christ-centered hope. We long for renewed worship, deeper discipleship through small groups, and generous outreach in our community. Bring your story, offer your gifts, and grow alongside us as followers of Jesus.

Our Beliefs

God

God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He eternally exists in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal , each possessing the attributes of deity. They each are made of the same essence or nature, but different in function.

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ lived a sinless life on earth and voluntarily paid for our sin by dying as our substitute. He rose from the dead demonstrating his power over sin and death. He ascended to heaven's glory and will return to earth to consummate history.

Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is present in the world to make us aware of our need for Jesus Christ. He draws us to Christ for salvation. He also lives in every Christ-follower and equips believers for personal growth and service.
