Assessment

Harbeson is a small Delaware Global Methodist congregation that disaffiliated from the UMC and rebranded as "Harbeson Global Methodist Church." Pastor AJ Kelley leads a single Sunday morning worship + Sunday School at 9:30 AM, with Facebook Live streaming. Kids' Church program runs during worship. Wesleyan-orthodox by GMC identity. Small membership; verify men's ministry pipeline before recommending to a discipleship-focused inquirer.
