Montezuma Ministerial Association

The Ministerial Association gathers regularly to plan community events throughout the year, including Lenten prayer breakfasts, July 4th ecumenical worship, and a community Thanksgiving service.  The association also provides spiritual encounters for residents at area care facilities.   Working together to serve local benevolence, these area pastors also shepherd needs in partnership with the Food Panty & Clothes Closet.

Montezuma Food Pantry & Clothes Closet
