Fletcher Law

I’m a native of Gainesville Georgia. Most recently I served as the pastor at Good News Church & Good News at Noon. We shared the gospel & discipled the homeless & working poor in Gainesville, GA. Spring of 2024 I took early retirement from East Hall Middle School. I had this wonderful opportunity to be a full-time minister in Homer. I am truly blessed. I’ve had a career in Northeast Georgia as an educator, football coach and Minister. My wife, Kay, and I have been married for 40 years. I am blessed to have a son, Graham, and a 5 year old granddaughter, Hattie. I like walking for exercise. My family enjoys SEC football, high school football, basketball, grilling steaks, the beach and pugs. I love the home team here, but I’m an Ole Miss alum. Hotty Toddy! I love my Church. They value the infallible and inerrant Word of God, and participatory worship and service. They love each other, serving King Jesus, and sharing the sin forgiving & redeeming love of Jesus Christ. As my mentor at Good News at Noon Mr. Beckstein taught me “Lift Jesus up in all you do.” The popular saying of our church is “our doors are always open.” We want the people of Northeast Georgia to come join us on this great adventure of discipleship till our Savior comes. We love Homer!

I was raised in Homer and attended Homer Methodist as far back as 1966! I moved away for my high school and college days and spent 9 years in Seattle, but returned to live in Homer in 1988 to be closer to family. In 2002, I became the Children & Youth Director here a Homer Methodist and served there for many years. These days I work with music- band and choir and handbells- providing Sunday music specials each week. I also do missions working with the Foodbank of Northeast Georgia for our SON Ministry that gathers each month to give out food.

In my time off, I am a volunteer for Get Real Ministries where for the past 15 or so years I’ve done their clothing ministry and the Christmas toy giveaway days in December that are the highlight of my year.

I enjoy traveling to new places and also spending time at home relaxing with my animals- 2 dogs and 8 cats- all rescues.

Psalm 23: 1 The Lord is my Shepard, I shall not want.

I am Donna Wilson, church secretary. Born and raised in Thomasville, Georgia, my life has always revolved around my church and church activities. In my current season of life, I have come to cherish each and every day and how God has blessed me. Each morning I start my day with Psalm 118: 24: This is the day the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it. (NKJV) This one sentence helps me look past any difficulties and focus on what God has prepared for me for that day.

I am retired after 30 years of teaching business education and math in middle schools, high schools, and colleges around the state of Georgia. My husband, Ron (retired high school coach and administrator), and I moved to Commerce, Georgia, in 2008. We are enjoying our retirement and being a part of the Homer Methodist Church family!

My name is Debbie Wilbanks and I am the Children’s Director here at Homer Methodist Church. In 2018, I retired from Banks County Primary School as a second grade teacher. In 2019, I was given the opportunity to serve as the Children’s Director here at Homer Methodist.

I have been married to Tim Wilbanks since 1983 and we have two grown sons, Zach and Matt. We have been members of Homer Methodist since moving to Banks County in 1997. Our boys grew up in this church and attended youth activities. My husband and I were active in the youth programs as volunteers. Our sons and their families are also active members here at Homer Methodist. Zach is married to Brandy and they have three children, Annabelle, Abram and Amelia. Matt is married to Brianna and they have four children, Chyenne, Riley, Anna, and James. Being a Nana is THE BEST. GOD IS GOOD!

Being a former teacher gives me the skills I need to plan and implement curriculum for the children. However, being the Children’s Director was not something I was planning to do. God had a different plan! Working with the children is one of my greatest blessings.

I would love for your child/children to be a part of “Kids Corner” which is our Wednesday night children’s program. We also have Sunday school and Children’s Church for this age group.

Psalm 107: 1 “Give thanks to the Lord for he is good, his love endures forever".” I truly believe no matter our circumstances- GOD IS GOOD All the TIME!

I became a member of Homer Methodist when I was pregnant with my daughter Hailey. Not being a native of Banks County and with no family close by, this church has become our family. I am originally from Homestead, Florida, born and raised. I went to the University of Florida and have a BS in Animal Science. Hailey and my son, Lane have grown up at Homer Methodist and I am thankful to God every day that He gave us this church family of loving, godly people. My kids have been able to see true followers of Christ, spreading the good news and loving people. I have been active in the Wednesday night program at Homer Methodist ever since Lane could start going at 3 years of age and I have been there ever since. I have loved helping the kids learn and see the love of Christ. My #1 activity/hobby is “momming” or as Hailey calls it, being a Momager. I knew from an early age that my calling in life would be being a mom. That calling has extended to being a coach, scout leader, and church youth teacher/leader. My other hobbies include fitness and exercise. I also enjoy binge watching whatever show has my interest with our 70+ pound lap dog, Lincoln, and cat, Blackie, when I have some free time.

Colossians 3:23-24 has always spoke to me as a reminder of our responsibility to work hard at all that we do, not to be rewarded on earth but because of the reward of eternal life and the deliverance from sin we have already gained thanks to Jesus Christ.

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving”

My name is Brandy Wilbanks and I am the nursery director. I started coming to this church when my best friend Kellie Coulter (Cheek) invited me in 1996 and loved it! I was baptized and became a member in 2000. I am married to Zach Wilbanks and we have three kids Annabelle, Abram and Amelia. I enjoy keeping all the kiddos in the nursery and watching them all make friends and have fun together.

I am from Hartwell, GA and I have been married to Dennis for 46 years this past July. We have two children, Dean Brown and Deanna Glenn. We have three grandchildren, Graycie Glenn (18 years old), Gunner Glenn (11 years old) and Bristol Brown (12 years old). I am employed at Pinnacle Bank and have been there for 32 years. I came to Homer Methodist at the request of Nancy Sullivan in January of 2004 to fill in until they could find someone and I have been here ever since!!!!
