"The Gospel and Good News never change. God’s grace never changes; but how we are able to reach the world with that message does."
CARING COMMITTEE
Connect/Serve/Share
Card Ministry – The Caring Committee of Tom’s Creek UMC sends cards each month to our shut-ins and our military families every month. These cards are truly appreciated by those who receive them—they bring joy, love and certainly something to look forward to every month.
Visitation – The Caring Committee of Tom’s Creek UMC makes visits several times during the year to our shut-in members and to those who could use a little cheer. They are well received by all who are visited and they look forward to these times of fellowship and God’s love.

Ministry is the heart of the church!
When we live out the vision God has placed before us, the church comes alive with new energy, purpose, and joy. Through our ministries, we grow closer to God, to one another, and to the world God calls us to love.
Connect Ministries help us grow together in faith and fellowship.
Through intentional fellowship, prayer and care for one another, we deepen our relationship with God and strengthen the bonds that unite us as a church family.
Serve Ministries move us beyond the walls of the church and into the heart of the community. Guided by compassion, justice, and love, we reach out to meet the needs of others—sharing God’s grace through action and advocacy.
Share Ministries call us to tell the story of our faith and the hope we have in Jesus Christ. Whether through personal testimony, communication, or creative outreach, we joyfully share the Good News so that others may come to know His transforming love.
Together, we Connect, Serve, and Share—living out our mission as the hands and feet of Christ in the world.
“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
— Matthew 5:16

The Promised Land
10918 Taneytown Pike
Emmitsburg, MD
It has become a beloved tradition for Tom’s Creek to host a rest stop for the Face of America’s annual bike ride. This special event is where all of us at Tom’s Creek can serve the wounded warriors. As hundreds of cyclists converge on The Promised Land, they are greeted with applause, waving banners and flags, snacks and beverages. They always exit The Promised Land feeling loved and supported.

RELAY FOR LIFE
Tom’s Creek Church has supported the American Cancer Fundraiser, Relay for Life, since 2016. Our efforts of fund raising have provided help for those families who have a loved one struggling to survive this disease, the ongoing medical investigations in treatment and cure of cancer, while remembering and honoring those who have lost the fight.
For 2026 our support will assist the Relay for Life of Carroll County whose motto is:
“Celebrate, Remember, Fight Back!”
