GRAVY & GRACE
Food for Body and Soul
For the last 14 years Alta Woods has been serving those less fortunate in our community. Each week our host of Church volunteers work diligently to provide transportation and food for the needy. Known as "Gravy & Grace", we gather the homeless of Jackson to provide White Sausage Gravy with Biscuits and a Worship Service. Following worship, the outreach team distributes hygiene kits, a pair of socks, and bananas, among other things to the needy. Truly a Ministry for the Body and Soul, Gravy & Grace takes the love of Christ and fellowship of the Church outside the four walls.
Closed due to Covid.
FAITH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
Learning to Give Back
At Alta Woods United Methodist Church, we offer congregants of all ages a chance to participate by joining our wide range of ministries. Our Faith Development Programs allows current members or newcomers to be involved with our ongoing mission of spreading the love and teachings of Jesus Christ to our ever-growing community, and to give back by volunteering of their own time and efforts.

The store exists to offer both congregants and members of the community alike, household and clothing resources that may not be otherwise available to them.
