Genesis Church History.
Old & New.
The church in south Fayetteville started in the summer of 1941, when Harry Denman attended an evangelist school at Mount Sequoyah Assembly. The 150 men attending were committed to taking the Gospel to the community. In June of that year, from the tents of a revival on the corner of Church and South, grew the first members of what would eventually become known as Wiggins Memorial United Methodist Church. Wiggins church joyfully served its community for over 73 years.
In 2013 after many years of worship and service, Wiggins was faced with the reality that they would have to close their doors. They decided the best way to maintain their original mission was to transfer the staff and assets to another church. Central United Methodist Church, located on Dickson Street, saw an opportunity to expand its ministry and began the renovations on what would become its new satellite church, Genesis Church. Over a year's time, while undergoing these improvements, the congregation continued to worship, thrive, and grow in size.
Genesis Church has become a unique combination of old and new. Committed to taking the Gospel to the community, it is a place for new beginnings. Any day of the week you will find the church bustling with activities from updating the campus to community groups meeting. Genesis Church is known for its radical hospitality and people who are authentic, loving, and centered on being followers of Jesus Christ.
