Shepherd of the Hills
United Methodist Church
SHUMC believes in helping others in its community and the world. Here are just some of the church's missions projects.
The Missions Committee has among its many projects the Backpacks for Kids program. This important task provides
school supplies and a backpacks to more than 500 children each year in the Washington County School District.
The committee works with other area churches and local Rotary clubs to assemble the backpacks, which are then delivered to each
school in the district. Counselors and teachers determine which students receive the backpacks and supplies.
SHUMC provides support to the McCurdy School in northwest New Mexico. The school states as its mission a
commitment to providing quality education in a Christ-centered environment. It does so by developing a values system respecting rich
cultural diversity and empowering students to develop as whole persons. SHUMC has provided workers and financial donations.
SHUMC is one of the founding churches in Southern Utah for CROP Walk and provides food and financial support
for Dixie Care and Share, the local food pantry and homeless shelter.
A grocery cart in the church's narthex
serves as a weekly reminder of the needs of many people in our community for healthy food and shelter. SHUMC has a goal of donating
3,000 pounds of food each year.
CROP Walk is conducted each November to raise funds to end hunger at home
and around the world as part of the Church World Service ministry.
