Combined worship service meets needs for residents of Mercer County

From West Virginia-

 A new inter-denominational ministry in Athens — Pathways — could be the first of its kind in the state of West Virginia, according to Rev. Jon White, 46 of St. Stephen’s Episcopal church in Beckley.

“Our goal is to form a mission-focused worship community here in Athens drawing on the riches of both the Lutheran and Anglican traditions,” White said.

Wanda Childs, pastor of St. Luke, also in Beckley, said Pathways was developed because many Mercer County residents have been traveling to Beckley for worship services at both St. Luke and St. Stephen’s.

“It is our desire to form a Christian community that is thoughtful, inclusive, creative and worshipful,” Childs said.

Services will take place every Sunday at 6 p.m., at the Wilkes Family Chapel at Concord University.
