Hearts, Heads, and Hands for Christ.
Join us for Worship at 9:00 am • Church School at 10:15 am
We strive to live out the gospel through giving and serving in Christ's name. We partner with several helping agencies to serve our neighbors near and far, helping with food and household goods, shelter, education, encouragement, and spiritual support. Our church motto is "Hearts, Heads, and Hands for Christ", and we always welcome new volunteers!

We coordinate with the south county area elementary, middle and high schools guidance counselors to provide Christmas gifts to children of low-income families. Each child may request a needed and a wished-for gift that is identified on an Angel Tree mitten. Only the age & sex are known by the church member who “adopts” the mitten to purchase the requested items. The gifts are delivered to the respective schools for the families to pick up.
Mission Trips
We offer opportunities to church members to participant in United Methodist Volunteers in Mission trips and community church-sponsored mission trips. We hold fundraisers from time to time and allocate the funds to support those who would like to volunteer their time and talents to mission work in the US and overseas. Specific guidelines/policies dictate how these monies can be used.
