MINISTRIES

Every third Sunday of every month Novato UMC Outreach 5 Loaves 2 Fish prepares a hot meal and blessing bags full of personal hygiene items, for our unhoused neighbor's. Mainly at the Hamilton encampment, however we also assist in Binford, Anderson and Mahone encampments as well.

Supported by Novato UMC - 5 Loaves 2 Fish Outreach, we serve our unhoused neighbor's by meeting the essential needs of their beloved pets before they even ask - bringing grace that goes before us to every bowl we fill. We provide food, care and radical hospitality to honor the powerful bond between unhoused individuals and their loyal animal companions, thanks to the generous donations provided by Marin Humane.

Generosity in action! Every second Sunday of the month, Novato UMC comes together to support the North Marin Food Bank. During the offering, we collect your donations of diapers, canned goods, and non-perishables. Thanks to your incredible kindness, we donate thousands of pounds of food and essential supplies every year. Mark your calendars and remember to bring your items next second Sunday!

Novato UMC members partner with Indivisible of Marin and We the People of Marin to champion local justice.

Each Saturday, our congregation stands alongside neighbors to turn our faith into concrete action. We advocate for critical issues like equity, peace, and community well-being to build a more just world together..

Divine Measures is our vibrant music ministry, led by Dr. Christina Ferrell for nearly a decade.

We open our doors to musicians of all backgrounds every Tuesday at 6:30 PM for a home-cooked fellowship dinner, followed by band practice at 7:30 PM. Together, we prepare the music that uplifts and inspires our congregation during upcoming worship services.
