A church is hardly a church without pews, but one Shelbyville church that has been reborn in the past year no longer has to worry about not having pews. New Free Methodist Church has been next Macari’s Service Center in Shelbyville since the beginning of the year, and the church’s pastor says the new pews help the church take one more step forward as they build their ministry.

Ronald Newman is the Pastor of New Free Methodist Church. He says the church was borrowing pews before these were purchased, and they are happy they no longer have to worry about transporting the borrowed pews.

Newman says the church is now looking to form a Free Methodist Society and expanded their presence in Shelbyville.

Newman says there are plenty of good churches in Shelbyville, and his church is reaching out to those who do not have a church home.
