Heritage Center (SEJ Archives and History)Our mission is to preserve and keep alive the stories of the remarkable persons and events that make up our unique history as United Methodists in the Southeast so that all may remember, understand, and grow. The museum features exhibits depicting the history of the United Methodist Church and its antecedents with special emphasis on the Southeastern Jurisdiction. It is a valuable tool for the interpretation of our history and is used often for teaching confirmation classes, youth and adult groups as well as for the casual visitor. The archives include, but are not limited to, records of the former Southeastern Jurisdiction Administrative Council (SEJAC), journals and newspapers of the SEJ Annual Conferences, some local church histories, clergy biographical information, and books on a variety of subjects related to Methodism and its people in the Southeastern Jurisdiction. A special portion of our archives is dedicated to the correspondence and other personal papers of Harry Denman. We assist researchers of all levels — from those curious about where their great-granddaddy preached to scholars preparing material for publications.
