Christmas Miracle Offering impacts our city’s homelessness

Community Care Fellowship (CCF), Belmont UMC’s Christmas Miracle recipient, was started 41 years ago by Rev. Rock Hardaway and Ken and Carol Powers of McKendree United Methodist Church to help the unhoused in Nashville. For many years in Nashville, it was known to some as ‘Ken and Carol’s” program.

   Through the years it has grown into a multi-level program that addresses the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the people it serves. Click here to give online. Read more

Last Midweek meal for 2022 will be December 7

After December, Gairdt Edwards and Barley to Rise will no longer be catering. We are so thankful for Gairdt and his team for providing Belmont UMC with nutritious and delicious meals, as well as a feeling of hospitality that has made all feel deeply welcomed and valued. 

   Our last Midweek meal will be Wednesday, December 7. Make plans to join us and express gratitude to Gairdt as he begins a new chapter in his life.
