Ministries of our United Methodist Church

Worshipping God is central to who we are as Christians.  We encourage all to serve others in accordance to the gifts God has provided each person.  The invitation is extended to everyone to come and learn and serve with us.

Pigs on a Mission

Each man, woman and child is given a piggy bank.  Four times each year the full piggy banks, decorated by the owners, are emptied.  The funds are used to support a program or project usually outside of Ketchikan.

UMCOR

Each spring we collect an offering called One Great Hour of Sharing.  This pays for the administrative costs of the United Methodist Committee on Relief.  100% of any gift to an UMCOR project, such as the relief work in Haiti, will then go to that project with no overhead cost deducted.
