Gace Edgett
Development Center
In 1978, Erlanger Methodist Church introduced plans for expanding their educational facilities. The decision was made to provide a program that would expand the use of the building throughout the week. A child development center was planned as an outreach ministry of the church. The church approved this new ministry and after satisfying Kentucky’s regulations and requirements, the child development center was opened. The name chosen for the center was the Grace Edgett Child Development Center in memory of Grace Edgett. It was through her estate that the church was able to begin this ministry to children. GECDC is a non-profit organization and is completely self- supporting from the fees that are collected for child care. Erlanger Methodist Church is committed to the ministry of GECDC and recognizes the center as a very important outreach effort for the church.

This group also provides financial support to the church, local outreach, and international missions efforts.
Lydia's Workshop
Lydia's Workshop is an outreach ministry that meets monthly to create beautiful handcrafted items. The fellowship during our gatherings is truly special. Our hope is that the items we create bring comfort to those who receive them and remind them that they are in our prayers.
Hour of Prayer
At Erlanger Methodist Church, we believe in the power of prayer. Every month we hold a special service in our sanctuary to gather and pray for our church, our families, our nation and the world. We encourage you to submit your prayer requests here or by giving us a call.
