OUR
MINISTRIES
Gresham United Methodist Church has a number of ministries created to reach into the community and to spiritually strengthen the congregation. Some ministries meet monthly, others are seasonal, still others are twice a month.
There are opportunities to volunteer for meal programs or community service projects. We hold classes and offer a variety of study groups to enhance your spiritual life. There are opportunities to knit or be part of a book group.
On this page is a selection of our offerings. Take a moment to explore our ministries and join us on the journey.
