Get to Know Our Bristol HUB Pastors!

At Reynolds Memorial, we work in cooperation with our sister churches, Hunt Memorial UMC, John Wesley UMC, Beech Grove UMC, and Trinity UMC to bring Hope, Unity, and Blessings to our HUB community. As part of this multi-church partnership, we get to hear from each of the pastors within our HUB as they rotate each week and provide for the people they serve a deep and diverse preaching perspective for our congregations each Sunday morning. You may see any one of them on Sunday morning. Get to know each of them better below
