Serve
We believe following Jesus leads us to love and serve our neighbors.
At Pineville UMC, service takes many forms. Sometimes it's packing weekend food bags for local students, preparing meals for families around the world, or working in a community garden. Sometimes it's welcoming someone on Sunday morning or caring for the spaces we share. And sometimes it's as simple as opening our doors so our building can become a place where the wider community gathers.
Through partnerships with local schools, organizations, and neighbors, we seek to listen, build relationships, share what we have, and join in the good work already happening around us.
There's a place for everyone to serve.
United Women in Faith
Each month, women of the church gather for a time of learning, prayer, and activism. The UWF supports local organizations and beyond that seek to improve the lives of women and children through compassionate service, a focus on Creation Care, and advocacy to change unfair policies and systems.
Pineville Neighbors Place
We are proud to be supporters of this local non-profit that was born out of the ministry and people of our church. We continue to support PNP through food drives, volunteering, and other opportunities as they arise. Pineville Neighbor's Place offers financial aid and has a food pantry open to neighbors in the Pineville area.
Local Schools
We are grateful to support our local schools in any way we can. One of our largest programs is providing weekend food bags that help ensure children facing food insecurity have enough food over the weekends and breaks.
Serving Beyond Pineville
Our church has a long history of serving beyond Pineville, across our state and around the world. From helping provide access to clean water to responding to natural disasters, we've worked alongside communities to meet needs and offer hope. We remain open to new opportunities to serve, build relationships, and join in the work God is already doing in the world.
Growing & Giving
One of our church members generously opens their land for a community garden where anyone is welcome to come and help plant, tend, and harvest. The fresh produce is donated to The Bulb, a local organization that helps provide free, fresh fruits and vegetables to individuals and families throughout the Charlotte area.
Sharing Our Space
We are fortunate to have such a beautiful space that we are grateful to share with community organizations in the area like Stateline Community Orchestra, Queen Charlotte Chorus, local music instructors, and more.
Contact us if you would like more information about renting our facility.
