A Heart For Serving
Going to serve the world in the love of Jesus Christ is integral to the vision of College Avenue. We celebrate the many ways our congregation engages in Muncie, Indiana, across the country, and around the world.
Our intention is to have a physical presence in all of the local ministries we support and build relationships. Although Covid prevented us from being able to volunteer at our local ministries, our financial support is needed more than ever.

Native American Ministries Sunday
Peace with Justice Sunday
World Communion Sunday
United Methodist Student Day
