 Our building...for worship and service under the dome of God's watchfulness and care. | When the city of Gulfport was founded in the late 1800s, the people called Methodists were among the first hold worship services. From then until now, we continue to believe that we are called to be in the midst of the city, at the heart of its spiritual, civic, and cultural life. Our historic building with its magnificent stained glass dome has withstood major hurricanes. Our Church -- gifted and faithful people -- are committed to ministry in downtown Gulfport.
