The Church

The First United Methodist Church has become the staging ground for a massive effort to help clean up Pass Christian. During the week it bustles with activity, spreading into the community, helping anyone who asks. Mike Zimmerman is the driving force behind the effort and currently back in Michigan for a much needed break, His favorite slogan "We're here to build people first of all and houses are secondary." This spirit permeates the entire corps of over 600 volunteers that are helping bring back this community to the abundant life it once enjoyed.

The church has eemerged from three feet of water, thanks to the volunteer effort. Last week one group focused on restoring the pews and painting and on Sunday it once again became a house of worship.
