Serve
Justice Ministries
As a part of The United Methodist connection, we support efforts by The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) with worldwide reach.
We also work with partners in ministry in our community, such as Appalachian Ministry of the Smokies (poverty relief, food pantry, homeless shelter), Access Life (connecting persons living with disabilities), Holston Conference initiatives, and more.
Volunteers are always needed (as well as financial support): Contact Us
A Hand Up
Sometimes a life event causes a temporary setback in homelessness, hunger, health, addiction, or family finances. We provide help to persons in such crisis through our Hearts & Hands Fund (subsidizing utility payments for locals), our partnership with Renovatus Recovery Community, and our partnership with Appalachian Ministries of the Smokies (food pantry and shelter).
Financial support and volunteers are needed: please get in touch to help.
Community Compassion
Ministry groups such as Knit Wits and Quilts of Valor provide prayer shawls and quilts to provide comfort and remind others of the prayers we send. Do you knitting or quilt making? Join us- we'd love to have you!
Food for the AMOS food pantry is donated regularly.
Volunteers are needed. Contact Us to get involved!
Flood Relief
Support
ongoing flood relief efforts for those effected by Hurricane Helene. You can help communities recover from devastating flooding by contributing to our
Flood Relief Fund or assembling a Cleaning Kit ("Flood Bucket") filled with essential supplies. Donations go directly toward building materials, relief efforts, and professional services. Drop off completed kits at First UMC—no need to ship!
