One of our cornerstones is “serving the greater good in ministry and mission.” We use our gifts to change the lives of the underserved in our neighborhood of Dunwoody and throughout the Atlanta area- listed below are a few organizations Kingswood Church supports.
- Food for Those in Need: In partnership with Backpack Buddies of Metro Atlanta, we provide bags of nutritious food and pantry items for students with food insecurity at Cary Reynolds Elementary. We also support the Community Assistance Center (CAC) and Malachi’s Storehouse
- After-School Education and Enrichment Programs: We support the programs of Cross-Cultural Ministries and host an after-school program with Path To Shine.
- Street Sack Ministry: Thanks to the efforts of volunteers and contributed supplies (toiletries, socks, snacks, etc.), Kingswood Church packs bags which can be provided to those in need.
- School Supplies: Our congregation has partnered to pack back-to-school supply boxes for all teachers at local area schools including Kingsley Elementary School and Chesnut Charter Elementary School. Faculty from both schools have expressed gratitude for Kingswood Church’s generosity and ongoing support.
- Rise Against Hunger and World Vision: Annually since 2013, we participate in a meal packaging event. Well over 200,000 meals have been packed by members of the Kingswood Church community and shipped around the world to areas of need.
- UMCOR: Nationally, our support of UMCOR helped serve people devastated by natural disasters. Our support of the general and annual conference initiatives drought needed relief to areas where unemployment is highest and medical care scarcest.
- Other regional and global ministries through apportioned giving: A portion of all giving at Kingswood Church travels to fund ministries in the Southeast and around the world through the General and Jurisdictional Church Funds of the United Methodist Church.
