United Methodist Church District Superintendent, 1700 S 28th Ave, Hattiesburg, MS 39402, US

United Methodist Hour Then and Now The United Methodist Hour began as a radio program in 1971. Reverend John McCay, serving as Superintendent of Hattiesburg District of United Methodist Church at that time, supervised the start-up of the half hour program dedicated to spreading the gospel. By 1975, the program was airing on 15 radio stations across Mississippi. Executive Directors who followed McCay continued to expand the ministry to include what is now a half hour television program, which is broadcast on 16 television stations throughout Mississippi and other states in the Southeast. Time That Makes The Difference currently can be viewed throughout the United States, on line, and through The Hour's podcast. The United Methodist Hour has consistently won broadcasting awards from Mississippi Baptists in Broadcasting and United Methodist Association of Communicators ( UMAC ). From the humble beginnings of The United Methodist Hour, there has always been a spirit of love and a hunger for fulfilling God's will in the life of this ministry. God has continually blessed this ministry, preparing it for and pushing it toward new goals. It is this spirit that makes The United Methodist Hour's history a special and meaningful one. The faith of men and women who pioneered a new kind of ministry in Mississippi and in Methodism, along with those who continue the tradition of ministry today, is what has made the difference. * * * * Coverage of Conference business sessions and worship services during its annual meetings each year.
