Tony Medlin

Pastor

What an exciting time to serve the Lord and introduce others to His saving love and grace.  My name is Tony Medlin, pastor of the brand-new Grace Methodist Church in Seneca.  

My wife Sandy and I are honored to be chosen to be a part of this journey.  Together we have 4 children, 8 grandchildren and a hyper, loving yellow lab.
 
Seneca is a beautiful place to live, and every day I am excited for the gift of a rising sun and more God-given opportunities to serve.  Not only am I the pastor at Grace but am blessed to be Executive Director at the Residences at Park Place, and the radio play by play voice of Seneca High School football and basketball.

I served as a senior pastor for 25 years, have worked in Hospice and Long-Term Care and am excited about this new season in my life.  Sandy is a Hospice care giver, and I am proud of the service she gives to others every day.

Sports is a passion for me, and in my earlier days I played tennis tournaments all over the area.  My greatest passion is preaching and sharing the love of Christ with all – especially the broken and “poor in spirit.”

What you would love most about Grace is the people and the spirit of the Lord that is evident when you are in our congregation’s presence.  Please accept our invitation to not only visit but be a part of helping us build what we believe is God’s mandate for our church to evangelize and disciple.  We hope to see you soon!!

Blessings,
Tony Medlin
Pastor, Grace Methodist Church

Sharon Nichols Pianist

Sharon has been playing the piano since the age of 8, and the organ since she was 16, bringing a deep passion for worship to the keys.   She took piano lessons for 10 years, and the organ for 3 years.  She has served in church music ministries off and on since her early teens.  

"I feel incredibly blessed to use the gifts God has given me to help lead the church family in praise every Sunday, and music is a profound way for our congregation to connect with God's love."  

When she is not practicing or playing, Sharon enjoys reading, cooking, hiking and spending time with family.  Grace Methodist Church feels very blessed having her worshiping with us.
