New Members

Welcome New Members

Last November, three people chose to make Princeton UMC their church home by joining into membership. While they originally come from as close as New Brunswick and as far away as Ghana, they each agree that Princeton UMC is just the right place for them now! Please extend a warm welcome to each of them when you see them next!

Edris Anderson, who was born and raised in Jamaica, moved to the U.S. in 2001 to be closer to her two children. She is drawn to PUMC because of the faith and the people. She hopes to remain a part of the congregation for a long time and looks forward to finding ways to contribute and help out.

Why did you walk in the doors of PUMC?

“I was searching to find a church. I came one Sunday and felt very welcome and liked how I was treated here,” says Edris.

Kweku Ampong, who was born and raised in Ghana, moved with his mother to New Brunswick when he was ten years old. He was confirmed at New Brunswick UMC, went to school in Boston, and then moved to the Princeton area to work as a pharmacist. He loves being active and spending time with his fiance, Adeola, who also just joined PUMC.

Why did you walk in the doors of PUMC?

“I have always enjoyed being part of the Methodist denomination. When I moved to Mercer County and found Princeton UMC I loved its diversity and how welcoming everyone was to me,” shares Kweku.

Adeola Fagbewesa, a born and bred New Jerseyan, is a Practice Management Supervisor. She grew up in the Baptist church and intermittently attended an Evangelical church for 20 years. Since her fiancé, Kweku, is a lifelong Methodist, they visited PUMC and quickly decided to make it their church home. Adeola is excited to dive into some small group Bible studies.

What excites you about PUMC?

“I love the sense of fellowship and community, which I have not experienced before,” offers Adeola.
