Pastor/ director David Graves with wife Sherry and children Kyle and Claire
Servant's Heart Ministry Church meets at 1210 School St. in Columbia, TN. on Sundays at 3:00 pm .
David Graves founded the ministry over six years ago. While serving in a local congregation, God called him to begin a ministry reaching out to the less fortunate in the community. The ministry works with organizations such as Feed The Children and Feed America First to supply food to the hungry around Columbia.
The ministry operated out of a warehouse for several years but lost that building in January 2008. They are still operating on a scaled down basis, however, and awaiting God's directions toward a new location.
If in need of assistance or you would like to know more about the ministry, call 931-490-6881.
As a result of people coming to know Jesus through the ministry, David began Servant's Heart Ministry Church in February 2005. Murray Paul Gordon came on board as music minister several months later. The church was meeting in a local park and skating rink and was able to purchase a facility last year. It meets as small group in a house while waiting for the opportunity for a commercial building in the near future.
God's Grounds
God's Grounds coffeehouse will be opening in the near future.Located in the concession foyer in front of the gym at Central Park, GG will serve coffee, soda, hot dogs, nachos and a small variety of other snack items.
A small stage may be set up for local talent to come share their music.
The coffeehouse will offer a smoke-free/ alcohol-free atmosphere in which youth and adults alike may come enjoy a lite-bite, socialize, study, or catch up on paperwork!

Loval Jobe- owner, Central Park
Loval has a vision for the building to be home of an indoor skate board park, to have a fully renovated cafeteria open to feed hot meals to local kids who may not get very many hot meals otherwise, and eventually to re-open a boys' home at the site.
SPM is working with Loval to renovate the facility. Unfortunately, the renovation calls for more capital than the team has at their disposal. If you would like to be a supporter of this project, please contact us! We would welcome your support!
God's Closet
Director Eugene Pullen, Dacon Pullen, Becky Gordon, & Brenda Pullen
God's Closest is a ministry under construction. A room has been set aside at Central Park in which to store furniture & appliances to be distributed to folks in need.
Eugene Pullen had already received the vision of this ministry then fell victim to a house fire in the summer of 2007. The family was moved by the generosity of the local community and he continues to work toward its fulfillment.

The
purpose of Solomon's Porch is to first- Praise and worship God! Psalm 86
says, "I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will
glorify your name forever." That’s what Solomon's Porch is
about-praising God! Secondly, we are called to make new disciples, or to fulfill The Great Commission. Matthew 28: 19 & 20 says,''…go and
make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have
commanded you." At Solomon's Porch we want to point people to Jesus and see them come to saving faith in Him. We want to build the Kingdom, not just Solomon's Porch. We want to work with local churches to help new christians find their place to serve, which leads to our third calling- to bring believers together from
all over the community in worship and study and together lead new lives
into the
