Values

Integrity is the cornerstone of our values. It means we are above reproach in everything we do. We believe it is not only important to know the right thing to do, but equally important to do the right thing.
Leadership includes not only seizing the initiative but also challenging others to improve the communities we serve. We strive to be creative, thoughtful and innovative in our efforts to serve as the respected resource for regional philanthropy.
Collaboration with interested parties will make it possible to facilitate the most favorable solutions for those we serve; to build consensus in the face of adversity; and to empower others to build lasting partnerships. We embrace our shared responsibility in working toward productive solutions.
Transparency is the best way to prove to others that we are upholding our values. It makes mutual trust possible and helps make our actions understandable. We expect to provide information that will give stakeholders more power and the freedom to make informed decisions.
Respect means operating in a spirit of cooperation and valuing human dignity. It includes embracing different cultures, recognizing unique needs, and honoring diversity. We endeavor to treat others as we expect to be treated.
Accountability for our actions, decisions, and results helps keep us connected to those we serve. It focuses on keeping commitments, achieving results, and exercising sound judgment. We take responsibility for our performance in all our decisions and actions.

SUMC Spirit Kitchen

In February 2011, a small group of members at our church heeded God’s call to provide a free food ministry in Berlin. As a result, the “Spirit Kitchen” at Stevenson United Methodist Church was born, and it has blossomed into a community ministry that continues to grow each week. The Spirit Kitchen ministry offers a free lunch on Wednesdays at our Church (located at 123 N. Main Street in Berlin) from 11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Each week, dedicated groups of volunteer’s shop, prepare, and serve meals to anyone who comes to our doors. On an average each week, the kitchen serves 80-100 meals and provides bags of groceries to 60-80 families. The Pantry offers “blessing bags” which include socks, T-shirt, and non refrigerated items.
