2024 Year in Review

From hosting the Southeast Region Conference to helping churches in Holguin, Cuba, with construction and renovation costs, and to celebrating 130 years at Frazer, Pastor Chris says, "With all the challenges that followers of Christ are facing today, your resolve to not give up or give in is a testimony to the River Region and beyond." Here, our 2023-2024 in review.

Dr. John Ed Mathison now a Free Methodist pastor

We’re excited to share that Dr. John Ed Mathison is now a Free Methodist pastor as of Monday, March 4, 2024. He had been a part of the UMC for 64 years, and said, “To realize that removing my name from the clergy list of the Alabama-West Florida Conference will be the first time in 100 years that the Mathison name has not been on the clergy list—which included my father, Dr. Si Mathison, my brother, Dr. George Mathison, and me. “I am excited about becoming a Free Methodist Minister. I am most proud to be the Pastor Emeritus of Frazer Free Methodist. I believe God has a lot of productive years ahead for me and my family.” Frazer’s Senior Pastor, Dr. Chris Montgomery added, “We are thankful for John Ed’s faithful service to Methodism and the universal Church for so many decades. We are excited to see him continue to pour into and build up leaders through John Ed Mathison Leadership Ministries while he continues to serve as a Pastor at Frazer Free Methodist Church.” Dr. John Ed Mathison will provide the message at Frazer on March 17, 2024 at both our Traditional and Contemporary services.

Following Jesus Magazine

What an exciting season this is in the life of Frazer. We have seen God at work among young and old, new members and long time leaders. Our vision is to be a church that fulfills the Great Commission by following the Great Commandment. As we each live into our calling as baptized believers and committed members of this local church, we are a witness to a world in need that God loves, Jesus saves, and the Holy Spirit transforms lives. Following Jesus magazine is dedicated to the purpose of showcasing the stories of God at work among us. My prayer is that as you read the testimonies of fellow church members contained within these pages, your own faith will be stirred up and you will be “stirred up to love and good works.” (Hebrews 10:24)
