Staff Report

The old Ace Hardware store next to Burton’s grocery in Springville is no longer vacant.

ClearBranch United Methodist Church is expanding by leasing this space for a new satellite campus.

This additional location of ClearBranch UMC is called ONEeighty.

“There are people who want to turn their lives around, but think there’s no way. We believe God allows 180-degree turns so we wanted to provide a place. ONEeighty is a place where people can turn their lives around,” said Pastor Cam Price.

What once was 32,000 square foot of merchandise space is now a worship center, classrooms, children’s area, fellowship hall, serving kitchen, and offices.

Sunday morning services at 9:00 are casual, but exciting.

“We want to be a place where people feel comfortable and not threatened by a traditional church atmosphere or a large congregation,” Price said. “ClearBranch’s one desire is to point those who are looking for a new direction in their lives to Jesus Christ. ONEeighty gives us that opportunity.”

Along with the Sunday morning worship service, Mosaic Ministry (a young adult ministry), Celebrate Recovery and biblical counseling are ministries that ONEeighty will provide.

ClearBranch UMC believes it is never too late to make that turn to Jesus Christ. ONEeighty can be the place for area residents to turn their lives around.
