Shalom Place, a ministry of Metropolitan Memorial United Methodist Church, seeks to provide economical hospitality and service-learning opportunities to small groups who want to further their understanding and experiences of social justice through volunteer and educational opportunities.
We welcome groups of 10-24:
- Religious groups (youth groups, seminary classes, confirmation classes)
- College or school groups (service-learning classes and Alternative Spring Break groups)
- Peace and Justice organizations
And many more…
What’s in a name?
The central vision of world history in the Bible is that all creation is one, every creature in community with every other, living in harmony and security toward the joy and well-being of every other creature – Shalom is the substance of the biblical vision of one community embracing all creation.
- Walter Brueggemann
Shalom is a time of justice, peace, well-being and right relations. Through sharing and living a true vision of Shalom we are challenged to be engaged in building a better world for all; and this is what we hope to teach and continue to learn through this exciting ministry.
