Come walk with God ... in The Meadow.
The
mission of Green Meadow United Methodist Church is to be an open
gathering place to nurture Christians in training who, equipped by the
Holy Spirit, go into the world and share the light of Jesus Christ.

Do you want to
make a difference, but not sure where to start? One thing that makes
Green Meadow different is our attitude about what it means to be a
follower of Jesus Christ. Click here to

You may have heard
about "School of Hope: A Place of Faith, Hope, and Love." It's
a vision of God's people in The Meadow to provide academic and
life-skills training to young girls whose education and lives have been
disrupted by pregnancy. If you are interested in being a part of this
mission of God's love, or know of a young girl who would benefit from
the school, e-mail Linda Daugherty.
Classes could start as soon as this winter!
The
Meadow is located in the foothills of Great Smoky Mountains.

Worship
at Green Meadow UMC is a blend of contemporary and tradition, though
not fraught with traditionalism. We honor what the Holy Spirit has done
in the past, is doing in the present, while looking to the future.
The "emergent church" is more often
viewed as a conversation than anything else. If you are interested in
