About Snover Heritage Church

Snover Heritage Church is an independent Church which recently disaffiliated from the United
Methodist denomination. Our mission is to worship the one true God, to use the Bible as our
guide, to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to provide Christian fellowship and to be a witness
in our community.
We are located in a rural community in the “thumb” of Michigan, approximately 50 miles East
of Saginaw and 80 miles North of Detroit. The community is predominately agricultural. Many
residents enjoy country living and commute to nearby locations for employment.
Our church was established 35 years ago when three churches joined together for worship and
ministry. Our church properties include a one story, handicap accessible, church building
located on 21 acres. The church building has a sanctuary with 200+ person capacity, offices,
classrooms and a large gym/fellowship hall. Behind the church is a ballfield. There is a
parsonage available, approximately ½ mile from the church. It is a ranch style home with
attached 1 car garage. The main floor has 3 bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, dining room, living
room and office. The laundry is located in the full basement. The pastor and family are
encouraged to live in the parsonage. There is a thrift shop located ½ mile from the church
which is staffed by volunteers. Proceeds from the thrift shop support the missions and
ministries of the church.
We have 100 members. Sunday worship service is held from 10:40-11:45 with average, in
person, attendance of 45. Our worship service is livestreamed. Adult Sunday School is held
from 9:30-10:30 a.m. with children’s church held during the morning worship service. There is
a mid-week prayer meeting.
