Meet Pastor David Allison

Pastor David Allison came to St. John in August 2023, after retiring from ministry in the North Alabama Conference (UMC) in 2021.

“I am pleased and honored to pastor St. John Church,” Pastor David said. “The congregation of St. John are welcoming and kind, and I sense they truly want to serve Jesus. The worship is dignified as they emphasize ‘hymns, liturgy, and teaching’.”

In his previous ministry, Pastor David served churches around North Alabama. Appointments at Phil Campbell and Shady Grove (Muscle Shoals) introduced him to the Shoals and influenced his desire to retire here. Other areas of previous ministry include Gordo, Upper Sand Mountain, Calera, Oxford, and Guin.  Pastor David and his wife Joy together have nine adult children and 13 grandchildren.

When the Global Methodist Church formed in 2022, Pastor David transferred his credentials to the North Alabama Conference (GMC) and is now an elder in the new conference.

“St. John is a special place to worship and serve,” Pastor David said. I hope many others will come to experience the warm hospitality and genuineness of the people, and the love of God through the grace of our Lord Jesus and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.

Salvation

The following Scripture passages explain our need for salvation, and God's answer to that problem, through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.


ALL ARE SINNERS

Romans 3:23:  

23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 


GOD’S REMEDY FOR SIN

Romans 6:23:  

23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.


John 3:3:  

Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”


John 14:6:  

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.


HOW TO RECEIVE

Romans 10:9-11:

that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 

10  For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 

11  For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”


2 Corinthians 5:15:

15  and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.


ALL MAY BE SAVED NOW

Revelation 3:20:

20  Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
