Source of Our Beliefs:
United Methodists are centered on what is commonly known as the Wesleyan Quadrilateral:

Memorial’s Leadership
Pastors: Falamao Samate & LyChai Yang
Lay Leader: Ruby Bago
Secretary: Annamarie Huggins
Memorial is largely a lay led church with teams in charge of the various programs (finances, worship, education, etc.) The pastors participate in all teams to provide guidance.
Finances:
Like any organization, Memorial needs income to cover expenses in performing it’s missions and ministry. Most of Memorial’s income is from members pledging to donate an amount of their choosing per year. Other income is from non-pledged giving, fundraisers, and grants. Our missions and ministry are a priority for the use of the income.
Some History:
The founding of Methodism in the USA (video)
Memorial UMC was founded from the Academy Church in 1893 and first located in Clovis on 5th and Woodward streets. In 1963, the current building was constructed on Pollasky and Scott streets in Clovis.
Pastor Falamao Samate would love to see you at our worship service and join in on some classes and activities.
