Parish Ministries
Our ministries are how we serve God and how we are changed into God’s likeness. Service to others is the heart of our life together as a family of faith.
We carry out this charge by ministering to our brothers and sisters within the parish, in the Macon and Middle Georgia community, and in the world beyond Middle Georgia.
Please visit our Ministry Needs page to view a list of current needs of some of our ministries.
