Russell Memorial CME Church

The Christian Methodist Episcopal church is steeped in the history of Methodism in America. Like all other Methodist denominations, we trace our religious origin back to the father of all Methodist people, John Wesley. However, since our agreeable separation from the former Methodist Episcopal Church, South (United Methodist Church) in 1870, we've been a distinctive body of Christian Methodist believers. The Christian Methodist Episcopal Church throughout its glorious history has been committed to ministering to the physical, intellectual, social and spiritual requirements of its communicants.
