Welcome
 
Trade United Methodist Church is part of the greater United Methodist Church.

As United Methodists, we have an obligation to bear a faithful Christian witness to Jesus Christ, the living reality at the center of the Church’s life and witness. To fulfill this obligation, we reflect critically on our biblical and theological inheritance, striving to express faithfully the witness we make in our own time.

Two considerations are central to this endeavor: the sources from which we derive our theological affirmations and the criteria by which we assess the adequacy of our understanding and witness.

Wesley believed that the living core of the Christian faith was revealed in Scripture, illumined by tradition, vivified in personal experience, and confirmed by reason.

Background

We are located in northeast Tennessee about one mile from the North Carolina-Tennessee border on Highway 421 South. Trade is the oldest community in Tennessee. Daniel Boone established a trading post, from which comes the name Trade, so Native Americans and pioneer settlers could buy and sell their goods.
Trade United Methodist Church was established in 1923. In 1964, we moved to the current building. Our congregation numbers 62. Reverend Larry Rye is our pastor, who we share with First United Methodist in Mountain City. You may reach the church office in Mountain City at (423) 727-7554. Trade United Methodist Church is a member of the Holston Conference.
 
Vision
 
As members of the Christian community, we believe in the Holy Trinity of God the Father, Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Jesus came to earth to preach and teach salvation through Him, take on our sins, die on the cross, and rise from the dead. He waits for you right now to join into the fellowship of Christians.

If you are new to the area or just visiting, we invite you to join us for Worship Services and Sunday School. Worship Services are at 9:30 a.m. Sunday School meets at 10:30 a.m. We celebrate Communion the first Sunday of each month. Every Wednesday night, the Choir meets at 6:30 PM. Besides practicing their singing for the honor and glory of God, the Choir spends time in fellowship and in sharing a meal.
