God’s Abundance for All People (GAAP)

GAAP, is  food pantry ministry at O’Neal Street United Methodist Church. Through GAAP, we strive to address food insecurity in our community by providing essential groceries and basic necessities to those who need it most. Each week, volunteers gather to sort, pack, and distribute food, ensuring that no one in our community goes hungry. More than just a food pantry, GAAP is a ministry of compassion, offering support and hope to families and individuals facing challenging times. We rely on the generosity of volunteers and donors to keep our shelves stocked and this mission going strong. Anyone who feels called to serve is welcome to join us in sharing God’s abundance with all people.

Turkey Stew Fundraiser

At O’Neal St. United Methodist Church, our fundraisers are not only essential to supporting our ministries—they’re also a wonderful time of fellowship and community connection. One of our beloved traditions is our Turkey Stew fundraiser, where we cook up what many consider the best stew in the area twice a year! These events bring people together from all around to share in delicious food and warm company. It’s a time of laughter, storytelling, and friendship, reflecting the spirit of our church community. Our worship services are much the same—uplifting, welcoming, and filled with joy.

Join us For Worship

Joining us for worship at O’Neal St. United Methodist Church is more than attending a service—it’s a ministry in itself. Simply by being present, you bless and encourage those around you, adding to the warmth and spirit of our community. Every voice, every face, and every open heart makes our worship richer and more meaningful. For those who feel called to share their talents, there are wonderful opportunities to join the choir, offer musical gifts, or even help lead worship. Your presence and participation contribute to the shared experience of faith, lifting us all closer to God.
