Strength

Our food pantry serves hundreds of families in Putnam County on one Tuesday afternoon each month. In partnership with Second Harvest, our team of dedicated volunteers works to make sure those in our community who are food insecure have their basic needs met. If you are interested in volunteering or in need, please call our Servant Ministries team or email: servant@cookevillefumc.org. 

Hope Academy is a weekly ministry to young adults with special needs. Each Wednesday, our Hope Academy students come for a day of outings, special projects and fun. Even Elvis has been known to stop by!  If you would like to serve or have a special gift or talent to share, contact us for more information!

Cookeville First is pleased to be a big part of the disaster relief efforts of the Tennessee Western Kentucky Conference of the UMC. Our disaster relief team travels to help those who have been victims of natural disasters. We repair homes and churches and provide for the needs of those who have been impacted.  To be a part of this team, watch for training opportunities throughout the year.
