The year 1985 was an eventful year for Redwine, in that our church became a full-time appointment. This was a challenging year from a financial standpoint because we did not have the resources to support a full-time minister, and the parsonage was not up to the required standards. However, with the help of the United Methodist Church North Georgia Conference, the Gainesville District, and local banks, Redwine stepped out on faith and prayers, and we are thankful for the support we received. The parsonage was totally renovated in 1985 at a cost of $58,000, and on November 22, 1987, the parsonage debt was retired.
