2516 Park Street, Greenville, TX 75401903-455-2869office@kavumc.org Kavanaugh is named after Bishop Hubbard Hinde Kavanaugh, who was elected bishop in 1854. At the founding of the church in 1896, one person suggested that they name the congregation after the late Bishop Kavanaugh because he had been a leader in American Methodism.Heart for Greenville's Welfare
Along with Ken Money, former Kavanaugh pastor John Kay organized For The City, which is a week of local mission projects for 30+ area churches held annually in June. For The City is a response to Jeremiah 29:7, "Seek the welfare of the city... and pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare" (E.S.V.).
Heart for Greenville's Community Enrichment
Our vision motto is “From the heart of the city, sharing the heart of Christ.” This preferred future includes Kavanaugh’s being a cultural center. At Kavanaugh UMC, we recognize that cultural and intellectual growth go hand in hand with spiritual development. Our Community Enrichment Series offers programs designed to foster that growth and to provide family entertainment, free of charge, to the entire community. An endowment fund for enrichment programming has allowed the church to provide this community outreach since 1996. On every Fourth of July (except 2020), the more than 500 people who participated in the parade down Park Street pack the sanctuary for a fun Patriotic Program. The series has brought a wide variety of superior performances to the area; for example, Community Enrichment hosted the classical musical group Neo Camerata in 2017.
