The loyal cadre of supporters, committed volunteers and caring staff known as Community Care has been in ministry with the homeless and other poor and marginalized persons in Nashville since July 1981, first as an outreach of  McKendree United Methodist Church, then organized as a program unit of United Methodist Urban Ministries in September of 1984. In June of 2000 it became a stand-alone ministry.  Many lives have been changed and improved through this ministry, mostly of those who have come to serve, rather than to be served. Such is the promise of the one whose instruction and example we seek to follow, as we Practice the Presence of Christ in our corner of Creation.  We invite you to visit us not only on this site but also by coming by to take a tour.
