Boone MB Church in Pictures
The congregation hosted a 50th wedding anniversary celebration April 30, 2022, for Michael and Venus Mathes, the church’s lead pastoral couple.
After holding services on Zoom March 2020 until June 2021 returning to services post-Covid-19 was a highlight. It was a learning experience, but everyone became tech savvy enough to join service every week. They gained new members through Zoom and continue to do a hybrid service weekly along with online Sunday School and Bible study.
While the congregation is predominately Black, they are also a healthy mix of all things Appalachian Mountains, as evidenced in everything from their programming to music.
Of historical interest is that native son Rhonda Horton pastored the Boone MB Church for many years.
