Serve in the Community

If you are interested in becoming involved in one of these ministries, please contact the office. 
Caregiver Support Group 
We offer  a faith-based Caregiver Support Group.  The group is facilitated by the Rev. Dr. Molly Scherm. It is a safe place for caregivers to share, as well as a place to find strength, courage, and hope in their ministry of caring for their loved one. Contact Rev. Molly if you are interested in joining the group.

​Collections  
We collect food for the Franklin Area Survival Center, blankets for homeless members of our community, school supplies for Church World Services, diapers and onesies for Montague Catholic Social Ministries.  

Community Events  
Many of our events are specifically geared towards our Franklin County community, such as Ashes to Go, Stations in the Street, Blessing of the Backpacks, Blessing of the Animals, and a hospitality station at the Franklin County PRIDE Parade.​ ​ 

Community Labyrinth Coalition 
This group brought a labyrinth to our campus and offer programming throughout the year. Come by and walk our labyrinth anytime. Learn more here. ​
Emmaus Companions
The Emmaus Companions seek to provide comfort and companionship to those on the margins in Franklin County. We share meals with our community at Second Helpings and engage in their struggles, hopes, sadnesses, and joys. We go out into the streets, and gathering places of Greenfield to bring a ministry of spiritual care and hope. We live out our mission by building trusting relationships with those who are experiencing homelessness, living in poverty, dealing with mental illness and/or addiction. ​
Green Team
Our Green Team help offer tools and learning opportunities to become better caretakers of creation.

Mission

We believe God is calling us to cultivate a community of love, joy, hope, and healing. Jesus is our model for a life of faith, compassion, hospitality, and service.
