An official WELCOME to the Williams-Meely Family! We are so excited that Jay and his nephews, Anthony + Andre, have found Glendale to call their Nashville church home! We have already been challenged as a congregation through one of Jay’s powerful sermons – even more good trouble is ahead for us together! Get ready, world!

From Jay: “Before moving to Tennessee, we already knew that Glendale UMC would become our church home away-from-home. After the Special session of General Conference in 2019, I found Glendale and kept up with the good work of this faith community via social media. When I realized that the boys and I would soon move to Tennessee, I was comforted knowing that there was an affirming faith community that the boys and I could attend. Although we miss our faith community back home, we are so grateful for the welcome and warm embrace of Glendale.”
