Adult ministries at Wall Street include a variety of small groups, both seasonal and ongoing studies. Groups may be centered around talents (choir or hand bells), interests (Off the Wall Readers or Creation Keepers), or service (United Methodist Men and Women, the Center for Lay Ministries volunteers, or Loaves and Fishes). Each group provides an opportunity for you to find a place to belong and grow in relationship with God.

Blessing of the Backpacks: Each summer we gather school supplies to fill backpacks for students who need help in getting all the things they need for school success. Those backpacks are then given to several elementary and middle school in our area for students after we bless them in a worship service. We invite you to join in this heartwarming effort.
United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) Missions: Through the years Wall Street has financially supported various UMCOR programs and missionaries. UMCOR is the humanitarian relief and development arm of The United Methodist Church. Currently we support students in Liberia and Sierra Leone through UMCOR's Operation Classroom. We also give to disaster relief needs through UMCOR when natural disasters and wars threaten the lives and health of people around the world. We can't all travel to help in these situations, but we can send funds to those who need our support.
Heifer International: We enjoy buying "alternative Christmas presents" each December through Heifer International. Through this program we can donate in someone's name to give unique and life sustaining gifts at holiday time. Help add a flock of chickens, a goat, some trees,, a biogas stove, or even a heifer to this yearly effort.
Women's Circles: The two circles at church raise money and then donate in various ways to projects and agencies such as the Clark County Youth Shelter, Bliss House, and Rev. Jack Short, a UMC pastor in Appalachia. Join us in one of these small groups for fun, education, and giving.
Youth Group: One key component of the program for our youth is an emphasis on hands-on service work. In the past for example, they have helped at the Clark County Animal Shelter and brought snack bag they put together to first responders at the holidays. Our youth learn from a young age about helping others in concrete ways.
