Community Assistance Program

The Moreno Valley United Methodist Church has supported the Community Assistance Program “C.A.P.” for several years. This is an organization that was founded by a former church member for the families in Moreno Valley who need assistance in supplementing their food budget. Our collection of canned goods and staples over the years has made it possible for families living in Moreno Valley to come to CAP and get food for their families when needed. This is definitely an organization that our church will continue to support.

WIG (aka Women In Grace)

On the fourth Friday of each month the women of the church meet for dinner at a local restaurant and discuss issues that matter to them. They have brought in guest speakers on everything from Women’s Finances to Women’s Spiritual Growth. Everyone is welcome.

Men’s Breakfast Club

Everyone is welcome! On the second Saturday of each month the men of the church meet for breakfast at a local restaurant. The conversation can range from spiritual issues to Notre Dame Football (which the pastor loves to talk about). Guest speakers are also brought in from time to time.

Adult Sunday School

Rev. Roy and Dr. Cheryl Riggs lead the Adult Sunday School Class at
9:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings. The Pastor has been leading Bible Study classes for nearly 36 years and enjoys the give-and-take that the class provides. The Pastor’s wife, Dr. Cheryl Riggs, has a Ph.D. in Ancient and Medieval History and is a Professor at Cal. State, San Bernardino. Between the two of them, they are able to bring deep insight into the study of the Bible.

Bible Study and Prayer Group

This group meets on Wednesday evenings and is lead by Triza.
Triza is a long-time student of the Bible and a person deeply committed to prayer.
This group prays for any and all who make requests, so even if people don’t attend the group prayer requests are encouraged to be made.

Choir

“God gave the heart a voice to sound its joy - and calls it music”.
~Author Unknown

Some choirs just sing, but this choir is also a small spiritual group grounded in prayer.
The “Master’s Chorale” performs all kinds of music from contemporary, to classical. Sissy is the director, and she and the choir take their music seriously, but with never ending fun. Anyone who loves to sing, or wants to learn more, is welcome.

Please refer to the Calendar page for practice schedule and times.

Come join our exciting music ministry!

Praise Group

“Music is love,
in search of words”

This group enjoys sharing the more gospel-contemporary sounds of spiritual music with the congregation. Each Sunday they get the people up and clapping as they begin the worship service with up-beat music.

The praise team goal is get your feet stomping and your voices singing!

Please refer to the Calendar page for practice schedule and times.
