Geoffrey Grubbs, the new pastor at St. Paul United Methodist Church, comes to Gainesville after serving as associate pastor at Northside United Methodist Church in Atlanta. Grubbs graduated from Rockdale County High School and joined the U.S. Navy, serving until his honorable discharge in 1993. He also has worked as a youth minister to churches in Monroe and Loganville.
Making new friends in a new town can be tough, but the Rev. Geoffrey Grubbs has made it a mission. But it’s an easier one than usual at St. Paul United Methodist Church at 404 Washington St. NW in Gainesville. “St. Paul is a downtown church and yet it has kind of the atmosphere of one of the smaller hometown churches,” said Grubbs, who became the newest lead pastor at the church six weeks ago.
