Scenic South District

In an effort to better represent our entire regional area as a Connectional Body of Christ, the Chattanooga District of The United Methodist Church has adopted a new identity. Our District which encompasses multiple states is now known as The Scenic South District. There are many details that will need to be changed and much work to do to make this transition. We thank you for your understanding and we welcome your prayers as we go about this task. If you have questions or concerns please contact the District Office.
