A community of believers

What we are here for

Four things, and we mean all four: welcoming everyone who walks in, studying and applying God’s Word, working in the community around us, and witnessing to the world beyond it.

We are a United Methodist congregation in the Toulminville neighborhood of Mobile. Worship is Sunday morning at 10:00 in the sanctuary on Saint Stephens Road.

Two churches, one congregation

Warren Street Methodist Church was founded in 1889 and became a cornerstone of Mobile’s African American community. Toulminville Methodist Church was founded in 1904, in a neighborhood that would change a great deal around it.

In 1966, at the height of the civil rights movement, the two congregations became one — among the earliest interracial church mergers in Alabama, and two years before the denomination settled the question for itself at the 1968 General Conference.

That is not a story we keep in a cabinet. It is why “welcoming everyone” is the first of the four things above rather than the last.
