Sermons and Segments from Our Worship Services (2018)

Asbury Memorial United Methodist Church conducts its worship services every Sunday at 11:15 am. This page contains links to video and audio segments for these services (in reverse chronological order). Note: All of these services were recorded before disaffiliation from the United Methodist Church; therefore, there are references to the UMC throughout. Asbury Memorial Church became an independent, non-denominational church in September, 2020.
