Hurricane Ian Efforts

The United Methodist Church, through the United Methodist Committee on Relief and United Methodist Volunteers in Mission, is always one of the first in and last out when a natural disaster strikes.

Through your financial donation, UMCOR offers assistance in rebuilding homes and communities. With UMCOR, every dollar donated goes directly to relief efforts! You may give to UMCOR this Sunday by placing a donation in the basket as you leave the church, noting Hurricane Relief Advance #901670 in the memo line. You may also give online through the church website.

Download the

Church Life App by Oct. 31!

Church life is an app that helps us all stay connected and gives members access to one another's contact information.

Beginning November 1, the church life app will be moving to a website format instead of an app. Anyone that already has the app can continue to use it, but it will not be downloadable. You can find it wherever you usually download apps, but if you need any help, please call the office or CLICK HERE for detailed instructions.
