“Verily I say to you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.” Mathew 25,40 

We here at Capleville have a long history of outreach. Today our focus is on the surrounding community with the food pantry, Making it Happen in SE Memphis and Hickory Hill, and our involvement in Ross & Germanshire elementary and Kirby Middle Schools. Local outreach includes United Methodist Neighborhood Centers, Church Health Center, Wesley senior ministries, and other projects as needed. On a national and international level we support United Methodist Committee on Relief and Heifer Project International. The United Methodist Women and United Methodist Men are involved in additional projects. Donations to the church may be accepted Monday-Thursdays, 10 a.m.-3 p.m. or by contacting the church office and arranging a time to deliver.  The office number is 901-363-1859.  You may also email at This email address is being protected from spambots.
