Thank you for stopping in
I want to welcome you to Fort Branch first & Blythe Chapel United Methodist Churches. We are a people of “ Open Hearts, Open Minds and Open Doors. We celebrate and honor the Lordship of Jesus Christ and strive to be His followers
My name is Randy Anderson and I am fortunate to be the pastor of these amazing congregations. I am an ordained elder in the UMC and have served congregations throughout Indiana. I follow a mission statement of striving to Make Disciples of Jesus Christ for the Transformation of the World.
I believe that God’s Grace and Love is open and available to all people.
You will find that philosophy to be the case here at Fort Branch first and Blythe Chapel. We believe that every person holds sacred worth and is welcome to worship and serve here .
Won’t you consider joining my wife Julie and I and all the folk here for worship some Sunday? Come as you are and sense His Presence…

We want to welcome you! I am Melissa Foster and consider it a blessing to be doing a little bit of God's work each day. I have been working in the church office since January 2006. I, too am a transplant to Gibson County. My hometown is Rensselaer, located in the northwestern part of Indiana.
I have been married to love of my life, Kelly since 1988. Together we have two wonderful sons--one here with us and one now in Heaven. We've added a beautiful daughter-in-law and the three most adorable grandsons anyone would be blessed to call family!
You can find me most mornings in the church office and I will be happy to speak with you! I can try to answer your questions or if you just want to stop by for a friendly chat...I would love to spend some time getting to know you better. Welcome to Fort Branch First UMC!
