... through small groups

 

We believe that the Christian faith is best lived out in community.* 

We can share that faith both within the community of a small group and with that community to the city we call home.

Women on Zoom

Women are invited to a Bible study on Zoom. Women meet online from 10:30 to noon on Fridays. Please contact the teacher, Pastor John Kay, for details.  (940) 232-0410 or PastorJohnKay@gmail.com. 

 

All Adults

Men and women can grow in their faith by reading and studying in a small group, praying for others together, and serving others. The T.L.T. Sunday School Class meets from 9:45 to 10:45 am on Sunday in the Library on the first floor of the Education Building. Named after a quotation of Methodism's founder, John Wesley, the Think and Let Think Class examines topics of interest.

 

 Youth in person

Our United Methodist Youth Fellowship (U.M.Y.F.) meets weekly at 6:00 pm on Wednesdays. Open to youth in 7^th through 12^th grades, the group meets together to deepen friendships, study scripture, and learn about service. They serve throughout the year and take an interstate summer mission trip. Youth are encouraged to follow safety protocols.

Do you have additional questions or want to get involved?  Please email James Hamilton at youth@kavumc.org.

Children

We celebrate that God’s grace is active in the lives of children, whom we define as growing from birth through 5^th grade.  

If you would like for your child to be baptized, please contact Pastor John Kay at PastorJohnKay@gmail.com.

... through missions

 Community Food Pantry

In 2017, we installed a cabinet on the east side of the church’s campus. Members donate non-perishable food items and other items for Greenville’s hungry, who do not have to ask and may access it 24/7.

 Panera Bread Mission

In 2017, we began this mission in which Panera gives us bags and bags of day-old bread for distribution to the hungry. We sort through the delicious-smelling bread, place some in our community food pantry, and then deliver most of it to Women In Need (WIN), Homeless under the Bridge, FISH, Boles Home, the Boys and Girls Club, and the Reecy Davis Senior Center.

  

For The City

Kavanaugh is a leading congregation in this week of massive mission projects. Greenville churches are working together to benefit the people of Greenville.

Details of the 2022 projects will be posted soon!
