2025 Giving Campaign

2024 Ministry Highlights

  • Sensory Easter and Sensory Santa: Children with special sensory needs and their families experienced holiday festivities in safe and fun environments.

  • Camp Belle Meade: We had another successful year of Camp Belle Meade. We provided high-quality 11 weeks of summer camp for kids in Kindergarten - 3rd Grade, many of whom came to more than one camp week.

  • Worship Without Walls: 223 people participated in Worship Without Walls the Sunday after Easter to complete 14 projects across the city.

  • Good Friday Service: We teamed again with other UMCs for a powerful worship service at Gordon Memorial UMC.

  • Hillwood Summer Pantry: Through our partnership with H.G. Hill Middle and the West Meade community, we helped run the Hillwood Summer Pantry, distributing thousands of dollars in groceries and 10,000 diapers (provided by Nashville Diaper Connection). Over 45 BMUMC volunteers participated, including children, youth, and adults.

  • New Members: 64 visitors officially joined the church this year bringing 23 children and youth!

You can Pledge Today!

2025 Belle Meade UMC Digital Pledge Card

What are the best ways you can help Belle Meade UMC meet our goals for next year?

  • We ask you to prayerfully consider a pledge if you did not pledge last year. This has an incredible impact on church finances. In 2024, new families pledged over $100,000 to our budget.

  • If you pledged in 2024, consider raising your pledge by $50 a month or $600 per year. If all families would do this, we would completely fund our 2025 proposed budget.

  • The typical gift for a family at Belle Meade UMC is $3,600 per year. We would ask each family below that gift level to consider raising their pledge to $3,600.
