Our Story
Welcome to Maggie Valley United Methodist Church!
One hundred and fifty years ago, a small congregation of faithful Christians built the first sanctuary and public school in Maggie Valley. Today, our vital congregation continues its original priorities with all the people in the valley: worship and service.
The Methodists built their first log building along the banks of Jonathan Creek. Still at this same location, now below Cataloochee Ranch and Ski Area and the former Ghost Town in the Sky and across from Joey’s Pancake House, Maggie Valley UMC celebrated this great anniversary in 2018.

Rev. Susan Giles
Our Pastor
Rev. Susan Giles
Rev. Susan Slye Giles is serving Maggie Valley United Methodist Church as our interim pastor. She retired this past August as Dean of Memorial Chapel at Lake Junaluska, a position she served for the past five years. She lives at Lake Junaluska with her husband Sandy. They enjoy traveling and spend lots of time walking around the lake enjoying the swans and geese. They have two adult children and three grandchildren who love to come to the mountains to visit Poppa and Gigi.
She has been inspired by the community outreach that is taking place at Maggie Valley UMC. The Food Pantry and Shepherd’s Table are just two of the amazing examples of living as faithful followers of Jesus and she is excited to walk along with us these next few months!
