Our mission at Fletcher UMC is to glorify God by actively growing and serving God’s family through worship, education, fellowship and outreach.
From Patty’s Chapel to Fletcher’s UMC
Fletcher United Methodist Church had it’s start in 1856 at Patty’s Chapel, about a mile and a half from the church’s present location, named after Rev. Raphael Patty. Our current chapel, formerly our main sanctuary, at 50 Library Road, was built in 1928 at a cost of $15,000. The land was donated by the Poteat family, who were members of the church. The first expansion took place in 1948. In 1965, our weekday kindergarten program began, a much needed service in the community. Our newest wing to the church, where our current Sonshine Preschool is located, was built under a Duke Endowment fund in 1969. In 2018, we completed and dedicated a new sanctuary and office to expand our church and its ministries.
