A Welcome from Pastor Michael MeyersIt is with deep gratitude and great humility that I serve as the pastor of Marvin United Methodist Church. I am thankful to Bishop Robin Dease, District Superintendent Rev. Beth Sanders, and the North Georgia Conference for their trust, leadership, and warm welcome into this wonderful connection of faith. Most importantly, I thank the members of Marvin UMC and our surrounding community for the incredible kindness, prayers, encouragement, and hospitality you have extended to my family and me as we begin this exciting new chapter together.Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
Welcome to Marvin United Methodist Church! Whether you are a lifelong member of the Marvin family, a neighbor here in the Central Savannah River Area, connected to our military community at Fort Eisenhower, or someone searching for a church to call home, I am truly honored that you have taken the time to visit us. |
As I have come to know Marvin, I cannot help but see God’s hand at work in this place. Affectionately known by many as the “Pumpkin Patch” church, our campus is uniquely situated at the gateway to Fort Eisenhower, where Columbia and Richmond counties meet. This is more than a geographic location—it is a God-given opportunity. I believe God has uniquely positioned Marvin United Methodist Church to be a beacon of hope, a place of refuge, a source of compassion, and a church that faithfully serves our neighbors with the love of Jesus Christ.
As United Methodists, we believe that God’s grace reaches toward us long before we ever reach toward Him. That grace welcomes us, transforms us, and continually shapes us into the people God has created us to be. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we are called to grow in holiness by loving God with all our hearts and loving our neighbors as ourselves. My prayer is that Marvin will always be a place where lives are transformed, faith is strengthened, and every person experiences the life-changing love of Jesus Christ.
I believe the local church should be a place where every person is welcomed, every family is valued, every generation is encouraged, and every individual is empowered to discover God’s purpose for their life. Together, we are called to build a relevant, Christ-centered ministry that strengthens families, embraces our military community, nurtures the next generation, and seeks to transform the world through the Gospel.
The Christian journey was never meant to be walked alone. We grow stronger as we worship together, pray together, serve together, and encourage one another in faith. It is through this spirit of unity that God accomplishes extraordinary things. My hope is that Marvin continues to be a church where people don’t simply attend—they belong. A place where strangers become friends, friends become family, and together we become the hands and feet of Christ in our community.
If you are visiting our website and searching for a church home, please consider this your personal invitation. We would love to welcome you to worship with us, introduce you to our church family, and help you discover the many ways God is at work through the ministries of Marvin United Methodist Church. I encourage you to explore our website, learn more about our ministries, and find opportunities to grow, serve, and connect.
Whether you have followed Christ for many years or are simply beginning your journey of faith, know that there is a place for you here. My prayer is that when you walk through our doors, you will experience the love of Christ, the warmth of Christian fellowship, and the joy of becoming part of a church family committed to making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
Thank you for visiting us. I sincerely look forward to meeting you, worshiping alongside you, and discovering together all that God has in store for Marvin United Methodist Church.
Until we meet, may God’s grace go before you, Christ’s love surround you, and the Holy Spirit guide your every step.
I look forward to walking this journey of faith together.
Grace and Peace,
Pastor Michael Meyers

Michael Meyers was born and raised in Augusta, Georgia. He is a proud product of the Richmond County School System.
Driven by a desire to serve from an early age, Michael enlisted in the military while still in high school and went on to attend Georgia Military College in Milledgeville as a Cadet. This early foundation of discipline and leadership paved the way for his transition into public service. He stepped into local government and public service at the state capital, working directly for policymakers and changemakers who were shaping the community and the state. Leveraging his deep knowledge of politics, community dynamics, and relationship-building, Michael seamlessly transitioned his leadership into the media landscape. His impactful work in community journalism and political analysis has been featured in several publications nationally, including regular spotlights as a political analyst for Fox 54, a columnist for The Augusta Press, and later as the publisher for The Metro Courier Newspaper. Parallel to his civic leadership is a lifetime of dedicated community service and deep spiritual devotion. His spiritual journey began at Thankful Baptist Church, where he was baptized by the Reverend N. T. Young. It was there that his foundation was poured as he faithfully attended Sunday School, participated in Vacation Bible School, and stepped into ministry at a very early age as a junior usher. He was further raised and reared in Beulah Grove Baptist Church under the leadership of Dr. Sam Davis, where he continued to learn the value of active ministry. Having one grandfather who served as a pastor and his other grandfather who served as a deacon, he was born into a legacy that helped rear him into a lifelong understanding of how essential Christian ministry and fellowship truly are. Walking in that heritage, Michael did everything from singing in the choir to serving on the usher board, later transitioning into leadership as a minister over the next generation youth group. In 2019, his spiritual journey led him to be elected as the Pastor of the Pleasant Rock Baptist Church in Ninety Six, South Carolina, where he faithfully served his congregation until 2026. In recognition of his philanthropy and dedicated work in advancing the Kingdom of God, Pastor Meyers was bestowed with an Honorary Doctorate of Divinity in Christian Theology from The School of The Great Commission Seminary and Bible College in 2021. Committed to lifelong learning and theological excellence, Michael holds an Associate degree from Georgia Military College, a Bachelor’s degree from Omega Bible Institute and Seminary, and is currently pursuing his Master of Divinity from Charlotte Christian College and Theological Seminary. Known for a charismatic preaching and teaching style, Pastor Michael combines visionary leadership and strategic planning to inspire others. By using powerful storytelling to offer fresh, unforgettable perspectives, he leaves congregations eager to know more. Beneath his extensive public and ministry work, Pastor Michael is anchored by a deeply supportive family network. He remains close to his mother, Sharon, who continues to reside nearby, maintaining strong family roots in the community. As a proud father, his legacy of service lives on through his children: two of his sons currently serve on active duty in the United States Army, his daughter excels in her career with Delta Air Lines, and his youngest son is a thriving two-sport student-athlete at a local high school. Above all, one of his greatest joys is his role as a doting grandfather; nothing brings quite as much fulfillment to his heart as the time spent with his beloved grandchildren, Mikey and "Cupcake," who affectionately know him as "Pop Pop." |
