Introducing Our Next Senior Pastor
JEREMY AUVIL
A New Chapter for Christ Methodist
We are excited to welcome Rev. Jeremy Auvil as the next Senior Pastor of Christ Methodist Church! With more than 20 years of ministry experience, a passion for biblical preaching, and a heart for building authentic relationships, Jeremy will begin his appointment in June 2027.
We look forward to welcoming Jeremy, his wife, Jenny, and their sons, James and John, into our church family.
Hello, World!
Get to Know Jeremy
Jeremy has spent more than two decades serving Methodist congregations in the Birmingham area, including more than nine years at Clearbranch Methodist in Trussville, Alabama, where he currently serves as Senior Pastor.
At the heart of his ministry is a passion for biblical preaching, spiritual growth, and helping people build authentic relationships with God and one another.
His ministry has also been shaped by a commitment to missions, from providing more than 150,000 meals to students facing food insecurity through Clearbranch's partnership with Pinson Valley High School to supporting long-term ministry partners in Mexico and India.
Earlier in his career, Jeremy spent more than a decade in student ministry and founded Crosshaven, a house church, with Jenny to reach those who had become disconnected from the church.
Meet the Auvil Family
Jeremy and Jenny have been married for 24 years and have two sons, James and John. Originally from Alabama, Jeremy is a graduate of the University of Alabama and Asbury Theological Seminary.
We look forward to getting to know the entire Auvil family as they prepare to make Memphis their new home.
A Prayerful Journey
For seven and a half months, our Pastor Search Committee prayerfully sought God's direction for the future of Christ Methodist. Through an extensive search, careful discernment, and the faithful prayers of our congregation, the committee came to a unified conviction that God was calling Jeremy to serve as our next Senior Pastor.
