As you browse through our pages, we pray that your visit with us will be enjoyable and informative. We at Ballard UMC are deeply committed to living out our call to ministry by praising and honoring God in worship, by our compassionate service to God’s people through our outreach programs to the Senior homes, the food drives for the local shelters, collection of school supplies for needy children, the ministry of the thrift shop, as well as our continuous support to other mission initiatives and appeals. We are a small congregation with a big heart for mission and deep love for all God’s people. We invite you to join us as we strive to carry out our Savior’s message, mission, and ministry in Asbury Park and beyond. The message we share is the good news that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has come to redeem all people. The mission we share is we are all ministers in ministry together with each one reaching one. The ministry we share is a compassionate and caring ministry so that those seeking a spiritual home can find friends around the table of God’s love. It is always a blessing to welcome another child of God in our midst. We hope you can join us as we continue to be God’s people in this place.
