Asbury Chapel Finds New Church Home

Gainesville-Hall County, Georgia – Tuesday, January 16, 2024: Asbury Chapel, a Global Methodist Church in Gainesville, has found a new church home at 758 Main Street in Gainesville. After an extensive search, the property became available in late 2023, and Asbury was able to move in and begin holding services in the building May 19th 2024.

In December 2023, Reverend Whit Martin, a Gainesville-native and pastor at Asbury Chapel, and Charles Hudgins, chairman of the Asbury Board of Trustees, presented the project at a church meeting where membership voted on and approved the property purchase. The property is centrally located and conveniently houses a quaint chapel, perfect for Asbury’s Sunday services as well as spacious rooms for Bible studies, Sunday School, children’s programs and more.

“Our leadership has said from the very beginning, ‘Let’s not get ahead of God,’” stated Reverend Martin. “We have been prayerful and patient and the Lord has blessed us with this amazing opportunity to serve Gainesville. It is an honor to be located amongst the people of this vibrant downtown area.”

Asbury Chapel conducted its inaugural service on January 8, 2023 with 165 in attendance. In just under a year, the church has experienced steady growth, welcoming over 150 people who have decided to make Asbury their church home.

Asbury Chapel is a Global Methodist Church whose mission is “to make disciples of Jesus Christ who worship passionately, love extravagantly, and witness boldly.” John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement, proclaimed, “The world is my parish.” Ever since, the people called Methodists have committed to sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with people all around the world. Reverend Martin and the people of Asbury Chapel hope that the community will come experience Jesus with them, sharing the Gospel in the community and beyond.
