St. Andrew Methodist Church has been a place of worship, community, and service since its humble beginnings in 1904. Originally formed by a small group from the Easley Cotton Mill Village, our congregation met in various locations before officially organizing in 1914. Through God’s grace and the determination of faithful members, our first dedicated church building was completed in 1916.
Over the decades, the church grew—spiritually and physically. A new sanctuary was constructed and consecrated in 1981 to accommodate our growing congregation. As we evolved from Easley Mill Methodist to St. Andrew Methodist Church, our legacy of prayer, community involvement, and passionate worship deepened.
Pastor Ron joined us on July 1, 2022, bringing over 27 years of pastoral experience from Michigan, Ohio, and South Carolina. He is deeply committed to preaching and teaching the Word of God and encouraging everyone to discover and grow their spiritual gifts.
Pastor Ron and his wife Michele have three grown children—Tyler, Ben (married to Alex), and Hadlee—and have recently became grandparents to little Eleanor and Shepherd. His leadership inspires us to live out our mission every day.
