History
UMCASG was founded in 2014 by President, Eric Royes.
On June 2014, I attended the Florida United Methodist Annual Conference in Lakeland, FL. The second day’s activities included an optional break-out session about that unfamiliar word, “Alzheimer’s.”
Out of curiosity, I decided to sit in on the one hour workshop presented by the New Covenant United Methodist Church of Lake City, Florida. That one hour session completely changed my perspective on Dementia and what I thought I knew about the subject.
The first item on the Agenda, “Why begin a Ministry” completely transformed my thoughts into “Why not begin a Ministry”
