The United Methodist Church is a Protestant denomination which seeks to create disciples for Christ through outreach, evangelism, and through seeking holiness through the process of Sanctification. Go to the right of the sign towards the cross in the front of the church. Multiply 6 times 2 and take that many steps to the big pine tree. Walk across the driveway to the 2 poles there. Theres a possibility of maybe seeing the Reverend Glen Langston Walk up to the fence towards the swing set. Skip to the big pile of dirt. Spin in circles towards the fence, be careful!
