Our Purpose

Gravely Memorial United Methodist Church is a community of believers seeking spiritual communion with God through Jesus Christ.  It is a fellowship in which persons help each other in their Christian journey.  Our mission is to love and serve all God’s children.  This mission includes ministering to the whole person through nurture of mind, body, spirit, and relationships.  We exist to help individuals know God or have a deeper understanding of Him.  Through service, praise, and worship, the Holy Spirit empowers us to love God and neighbor, and to express our faith through a kind word, gentle spirit, and good example.

Our History

The first meeting place was a garage in the Southern Shops community.  It was soon outgrown.  A chapel was secured from Camp Croft and erected across from the Lone Oak Elementary School.  Much work has been done in making it the size it is today.  The church was named in memory of Horace Gravely, who was the only South Carolina Methodist chaplain to give his life in World War II.

A Personal Invitation

We invite you to join our faith community and help us become the church God envisions us to be.
