Community Support
First United Methodist Church of Ardmore is dedicated to serving the community through many different ministries. Listed below are just a few of the different ways we reach out to show love to our neighbors.
A FUMC sponsored program that was formed with the express purpose of providing beef to shelters and ministries that provide meals and housing to people in the Ardmore area. Holy Cow! Ministry was started by Kent Donica as a way to combine “what he believes” with “what he does.” The operation is simple – Holy Cow! receives donated cattle, has it processed into ground beef, and distributes it to the: Salvation Army, Children of the King, Family Shelter, Children’s Shelter, Broadway House, Naomi House and Destiny Center.
One cow being processed produces approximately 400 pounds of ground beef. In its first month of operations, Holy Cow! Ministry donated more than 2,300 pounds of ground beef that came from seven donated animals.
