Who We Are

Who We Are

Immanuel United Methodist Church is located on main street in Wellford, SC with a rich history in the  Jackson Mill Village and surrounding Wellford community. The church was originally built in 1936 as Jackson Mill Methodist Church in the Jackson Mill community. The church was lost to a devastating fire on April 6, 1967. In 1969, the church was rebuilt at its present location and renamed Immanuel United Methodist Church (Immanuel meaning “God with us”).

Immanuel UMC continues to focus on living out our faith as witnesses for Jesus by striving to live more like Christ in all that we do. We are continuing to grow in our ministries of nurture, outreach, and worship. We love ministering to the growing number of children at IUMC and have a passion to be vital in the surrounding Wellford community as we continue become faithful disciples of Jesus Christ.

Rev. Suzy Sullivan is the pastor at IUMC. She is a devoted wife and a mother of one son.
