Ministries
Jesus tells us to love God and love our neighbors. We believe that our worship is where this begins, but our work is where it continues. We are continually evolving and developing new ministry opportunities for each and every one to connect with. There are many ways to get involved in helping others, in and through this congregation.

United Methodist Commission On Relief (UMCOR)
The Hunger Site was founded to focus the power of the Internet on a specific humanitarian need: the eradication of world hunger. Since its launch in June 1999, the site has established itself as a leader in online activism, helping to feed the world's hungry. On average, over 220,000 individuals from around the world visit the site each day to click the yellow "Click Here to Give - it's FREE" button. To date, more than 300 million visitors have given more than 500 million cups of staple food.
The staple food funded by clicks at The Hunger Site is paid for by site sponsors and distributed to those in need by Mercy Corps and America's Second Harvest. 100% of sponsor advertising fees goes to our charitable partners. Funds are split between these organizations and go to the aid of hungry people in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and North America. (from thehungersite.com)
