Serving Others. Serving the World.

Henderson UMC recently donated thousands of dollars to local community nonprofit groups. Having been remembered in Rebecca Beauchamp’s will, we shared the bequest to support our community’s growth through necessary changes, providing essential services that may be underfunded or unavailable through government channels. These organizations typically operate with a deep understanding of local challenges and resources, making them efficient at directing donated funds and support to the areas of greatest need. The organizations who benefited were the Callao Rescue Squad, Rappahannock Community College, Callao Hometown Community Association, and the Northern Neck Girls and Boys Club.

  • Each year we provide gifts for a local family who need a little help in the holiday season.

  • Every month we make a special collection on the first Sunday of the month to support area groups including Heart Haven, Callao Volunteer Fire and Rescue Squads, The Haven Shelter, Smith Point Sea Rescue and the Upper Lancaster Community Food Pantry.

  • We are called to be good Stewards of the earth. We at Henderson are doing so by collecting clean plastic that will be recycled into a new Trex bench.

  • Every year the men of Henderson host a Fish Fry for the community at the Ruritan Center in Callao. Funds from this event are used for the Scholarship program.

  • We care for our neighbors in need by providing good, well-balanced, homemade meals twice a week. These meals are delivered with care and a prayer on Tuesday and Friday every week. This program has been going on for over 25 years. If you are in need of a Happy Meal, please reach out to the church office.

  • Every year we provide scholarships to those in our extended family pursuing post-secondary education (college, trade school, graduate programs.)

  • Sunday School begins at 9 AM in the Fellowship Hall. It ends at 9:45 AM in time for the 10 AM Worship Service.

    Coffee, tea, and water are available.

    Come as you are; no registration required.

  • During the giving season before Christmas, we participate in the Toys for Tots program. The program helps parents provide a meaningful Christmas for their children.

  • Every year we support our Veterans. Individuals sponsor flags to honor Veterans and those funds are given to the local American Legion group. We thank all Veterans for their service.
