Ways to Serve

Mission Beyond the Walls: Working through our larger denomination, we reach out to help those in need, like building flood buckets and hygiene kits to be distributed by United Methodist Committee on Relief. Some of our church members volunteer with Habitat for Humanity; raise funds for cancer research with Relay for Life, and support our local helping agencies like Phases to Freedom, Family Resource Center, Helping Hand, and Little Pantries of Henry County.
Second Harvest – Paris First is proud to be a partner agency with Second Harvest of Middle TN. We serve the greater Paris Community every third and fourth Tuesday morning. Church volunteers gather to unload the SH truck and build boxes of fresh produces, breads, desserts, meat and canned goods to share with anyone in need. View the Second Harvest Website
In-House Food Pantry – On each Monday and Friday between 11:00-12:30, individuals and families dealing with food insecurity may receive a monthly bag of groceries, prepared by donations from our PFirst family and other community support.
