“Loving, gracious, faithful and generous,” is the reputation Antioch United Methodist Church in Gainesville has created during the past 200 years, according to its members, pastor and former pastors. Exemplifying that motto is the church’s program, Gainesville Aid Project. The project seeks locals who have a construction, home repair or lawn care need.
