Jesus never built his ministry on comfort zones — he walked with strangers, sat with outsiders, and called people to love beyond the familiar. At 3 Rivers UMC Ministries, especially through Seeds of Hope, we follow that same call. Here, strangers become neighbors as we plant compassion in the lives of migrants and newcomers, offering welcome, resources, and friendship rooted in Christ’s radical hospitality. When we serve side by side with people we’ve just met, we’re stepping into the kind of community Jesus envisioned — one where love breaks barriers and hope takes root. Join us in sowing seeds that grow far beyond what we can see.

River Rise isn’t just a youth group — it’s a movement of young people stepping boldly into faith, community, and purpose. At 3 Rivers UMC Ministries, we believe our youth aren't just the church of tomorrow; they’re shaping the church of today. Through worship, service, play, and deep connection, River Rise helps students discover their identity in Christ and their power to make a difference right now. Every gathering plants seeds of justice, joy, and courage that ripple out into their schools, their families, and the world. When our youth rise, the future begins to change.

At 3 Rivers UMC Ministries, you're invited into something deeper than just showing up on Sunday — you're invited to step into the story of God. Every gathering, every outreach, every meal shared and burden lifted is part of a living, breathing faith movement shaped by love, grace, and gritty hope. Whether you're teaching a child to pray, helping pack food for neighbors, joining a Bible circle in a living room, or singing on the lakeshore — your presence becomes part of a sacred unfolding. We don’t just talk about faith — we live it, together. Come write the next chapter with us.
