Ministries
In addition to Sunday worship, we have several other ministries for our congregation and the wider community. Please contact us if you would like more information or to get involved in any of these areas. We also welcome new ministry opportunities, as the Spirit leads!

Spiritual Growth & Fellowship
​
Our weekly Wednesday Potluck & Bible Study currently meets at the Chapel. Potluck is at 5:30, Study at 6:30.
​
Fun activities for all ages - regular hikes, floats on the river, bike rides, walking groups, garden days! During the warm months, we plan to have many of these activities after worship on the 3rd Sunday of each month.

Community, Mission & Service
​
Todd's Table (formerly Blackburn Community Outreach) - partner nonprofit housed on our property that manages Beatitude Gardens and increases access to local foods. We've got a team of volunteers working in the gardens--contact us to get involved!
During the season, produce is available in the yellow caravan, next to the Little Free Pantry at the front corner of our parking lot. In the wake of Hurricane Helene, we have volunteers keeping the Little Free Pantry stocked, with overflow supplies in the Chapel Basement. Sign up to volunteer here

Our Connect Team has been meeting monthly to identify and seek to address local community challenges related to housing. We are now launching a Todd Community Loan fund to meet these needs.
