St. Timothy United Methodist Church, 5365 Memorial Dr., has changed its business name to STAR Community United Methodist Church.
St. Timothy recently merged with Allgood Rd. United Methodist Church, 640 Allgood Rd. The combined congregations have been using the name The Church United Methodist Church and meeting at St. Timothy's Memorial Dr. building.
The combined church updated its non-profit corporate registration with the Georgia Secretary of State's office earlier this month, changing its name from St. Timothy United Methodist Church Inc. to STAR Community United Methodist Church, Inc.
James Pirkle of Stone Mountain is listed as STAR Community UMC's Chief Executive Officer. Robert Dykes is listed as Chief Financial Officer.
The St. Timothy School for infants through 8th grade appears unaffected by the change. Its web page says enrollment will open soon for the 2023-24 school year. An open house is planned on February 16.
