Vesta Methodist Church is excited for our new direction with the Global Methodist Church! As part of the Global Methodist Church, our mission is to make disciples of Jesus Christ who worship passionately, love extravagantly, and witness boldly. Our vision is to join God in a journey of bringing new life, reconciliation, and the presence of Christ to all people, and to helping each person reflect the character of Christ.
With this new season of ministry, we are elated to welcome our new pastor, Eric Marsh, and his family, effective July 1st, 2023. Eric and his wife, Shea, have been married for 13 years. They have 3 children: Cooper (9), Caroline (6), and Cal (9 months). Eric has been in church his entire life and is a 3rd generation Methodist on both sides of his family. He has a Bachelor’s degree in History Education from Arkansas Tech, a Master of Arts degree in Biblical Exposition from Liberty University, and he will graduate with a Master of Divinity from Asbury Theological Seminary in December 2023. Eric has been an associate pastor at Heritage Global Methodist Church in Van Buren, AR for two years and has coached football and taught at Alma High School for ten years. When asked about the opportunity to serve alongside the congregation at Vesta, Eric said, “I believe that Jesus working in the local church is the hope of the world, and I cannot wait to hit the ground running!”
All are welcome to worship with Vesta Methodist Church on Sundays at 9 AM. Sunday School classes, for all ages, are held from 10:15 AM to 11 AM as well. Hebrews 10:24-25 says, “And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.”
