Where Can I Serve?

One of the most important values of this church is our mission to serve as the heart and hands of Jesus. Service begins in our own community, and spreads around the world. Church members are involved in a variety of ministries from things as simple as washing the church linens to preparing meals for those living at a shelter. Time commitments vary from one-time activities to long-term partnerships with specific agencies. Please contact the church office for details about how Holy Family members serve at these locations. admin@hfec.org
 
 

Holy Family Community Garden

Description: In 2011, Holy Family began a community garden that yielded a weekly bounty of vegetables, most of which were donated to the food pantry at Fishers United Methodist Church to distribute to individuals and families in need. We have expanded the garden to 42 plots and opened plots up to the community. The Community Garden aims to provide a gardening opportunity to community members and develop relationships among and with community members beyond the garden.
