Our Senior Pastor is Rev. Lillian Smith, a spiritual guiding force
for our congregation. We are Christians who believe in the message
of God the Father and His son Jesus Christ. We believe in the power
of prayer and we believe in putting our faith into action: through
serving God, helping each other, and serving our community. Our
mission is to make disciples for Christ. We fully subscribe to the
United Metho
...
dist Church credo: Open Hearts. Open Minds. Open Doors. Members
Tindley members are welcoming and dedicated servants of God. We
work constantly to enrich our faith, enhance our membership through
evangelism, and serve the community through our Soup Kitchen. We
have Christ-servant ministers who visit the sick and infirm, lead
worship services, and provide encouragement to all. History Founded
in 1837, Tindley has a rich legacy of excellent gospel music,
inspirational preaching, and community service. Dr. Charles Albert
Tindley, a pastor of the church during the Depression years, is
known as the ‘Father of Gospel Music’. Dr. Tindley composed more
than 60 hymns, and songs such as ‘Stand by Me’, Leave It There, and
We’ll Understand It Better By and By.
