Jonesboro UMC believes that our call is to be of and for our community, showing the love of God in our daily lives.

From the smallest act of kindness to the most radical transformation of our life together, God has a vision for us. That vision begins with coming together and knowing we are loved. Jonesboro UMC especially believes we are called to offer hospitality to the seekers, questioners, and almost-believers.

Wherever you are in your journey of faith, we invite you to be part of the work of God’s kingdom right here in Sanford.

Quick Facts for Visitors

We want to meet you!

We love all noises of all God’s children. We proudly offer a staffed nursery for children too young to speak during our services. For older children, we offer busy bags so that their hands can move instead of their feet, and are delighted by their presence among us.

Dress tends to be smart casual, like an office. But, there are some who dress up nicely and some who dress down. You are welcome to come as you are comfortable.

Our Staff

  • Reverend Cat Clyburn

    Pastor
    Pastor Cat began to be called to ministry at 17, and was amazed to discover the possibility of passion and change, within people and entire cities, in the United Methodist Church. She studied sociology and math, worked in construction and farming, before beginning divinity school at Union seminary in New York, and graduating from Duke Divinity in 2023. Her passions include earth justice, gardening, and decidedly amateur art. Her family includes a husband, a one year old daughter, and a cat.

  • Dr. Danny Hester

    Minister of Music
    Danny has been at JUMC for 43 years, and continues to lead our music programs with dedication and beauty. He also teaches organ at Campbell University.

  • Heidi Gibson

    Administrator
    Heidi is retired from a career in teaching special education, and brings that same relentless sunniness to the office at JUMC.

  • Dave Trout

    Custodian

    Dave has lived many lives, and has primarily worked in the restaurant industry. He has slowed down in retirement to only work 30 hours a week. Always willing to lend a hand and go above and beyond, Dave is our campus’s devoted caretaker.
