About

​
History
CUMC is a lovely little country church in the beautiful tombigbee hills region of North Mississippi. Originally established as the Methodist Episcopal Church of the World in 1840, the church was founded only 4 years after the establishment of Itawamba County and a mere 23 years after Mississippi attained statehood. With it's humble beginnings as a small log cabin in the Carolina Community (named after South Carolina, the state from which most of the settlers and many of the Church's founding member had recently migrated) the small church was later replaced with a white frame structure, and in 1960 updated once again to a red brick building and finally to the beautiful brick church we have today. At Carolina United Methodist Church, our roots run deep, not only in our community, our country, and our state, but also in the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our goal at CUMC is to help every person to, not just grow, but thrive in a loving church family, in the discipleship of Jesus Christ and in building God's kingdom together.
