The Jesse Lee Cluster is comprised of twelve United Methodist churches in the greater Augusta area who come together to be involved in cooperative ministry. “In a world fragmented by conflict and competition, the church has the opportunity and the obligation to bear witness to the presence and power of God’s kingdom, known to us in Christ, by working together. Cooperation needs to become the norm for how we do ministry! That cooperation expresses both the spirit of the Kingdom of God and the essence of our United Methodist connection.” (From Cooperative Ministry, a publication of the New England Conference).
