Why “The Foundry”?

A Legacy of Transformation

John Wesley used an old metal foundry for his first church building. He renovated the structure and used it for worship- and they simply called it "The Foundery." A foundry was a place of transformation: where raw, unrefined material was shaped with care, heat, and purpose into something strong and useful. That same spirit envelops The Foundry in Tupelo, MS. This is a place where the divorced, the widowed, the grieving, the searching, the clergy, and the skeptic all encounter the same presence, support, and hope.
