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 meets at various locations. Potluck is at 5:30, Study at 6:30. Weather-permitting, we'll gather outdoors. Sept 4-Oct 9, we're doing a 6 week study on our Wesleyan understanding of grace and how we see grace at work in our lives. Email us for location details!

Fun activities for all ages - regular hikes, floats on the river, bike rides, walking groups, garden days! During the warm months, we'll 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!

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

Our Connect Team is meeting monthly to identify and seek to address local community challenges related to housing. Our next meeting will be updating progress on helping a local family create an affordable rental on their property. In the wake of Hurricane Helene, this work will be even more critical!
