REDBUD AREA MINISTRIES

​Our church has been one of the supporting partners of Redbud Area Ministries for many years. This community agency provides food, clothing, personal care and household items, as well as limited financial assistance to those families in Buchanan and Galien that have fallen on difficult times.

BOY ​SCOUTS

For many people in our community our church is “the one where the Scouts meet.”  We have had a wonderful working partnership with Scouting since 1926, and is recognized as a Shepherd Church by the United Methodist Men for its continuing support for the development of boys and young men.

​VOLUNTEER SERVICE

Several times a year we encourage our members to be involved in volunteer service opportunities.  These include participation in Change the World Day, and coordinating the Buchanan Make a Difference Day . In addition we have worked with the Southwest Michigan Human Trafficking Task Force to help train our police officers and get information on identifying victims to area businesses.
