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
