About Us
Jesus said, “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (The community, the region, and the world.)
from: Matthew 28:19-20 and Acts 1:8 TNIV
Pinelands United Methodist Church was established on June 20, 2007 and is a Christ Centered, Spirit Filled, Bible Teaching congregation in Southern New Jersey!
Pastor Ray Schmeling
In 1998 the churches of Batsto, Green Bank, Lower Bank, and Nesco united to become the Pinelands Charge of the United Methodist Church.
The Pinelands United Methodist Church at Batsto, Green Bank, Lower Bank, and Nesco, was created in February 2007. On April 29, 2007, a Transformation Service was held to let go of the past and to embrace the future as the four congregations became one. This was confirmed by Bishop Sudarshana Devadhar who dedicated our new Church on June 20, 2007.
