Serving Within the Community

Transfiguration has a long-standing commitment to the local community. For decades we have supported the needs of the town’s elementary school and joined other civic and religious organizations to purchase a mountaintop property which has become a community park that is used for Saluda's Ecumenical Easter Service and other community events.

​Today, Transfiguration and its parishioners continue to engage the needs of the community both monetarily and with hands-on participation. Here are a few of our outreach ministries:
​​The Church of the Advocate - Twice a year Transfiguration worships on a Sunday afternoon with our brothers and sisters at Church of the Advocate, an Episcopal community of faith that welcomes and serves the homeless in Asheville.

​Following worship, Transfiguration offers a nutritious lunch and a take-away snack bag to all who are present.

​​Autumn Care Singers - Every Wednesday morning at 10 a.m. a group of Transfiguration folks gather at the local nursing home, Autumn Care, and make a joyful noise, singing favorite folk and Gospel songs.
 
Pop Up Pantry of Saluda – Every Tuesday from 4 to 6 pm, rain or shine, Transfiguration spearheads the pantry through a partnership with Manna Foodbank in Asheville.  The pantry stocks fresh produce, meats, breads, canned goods, and household goods for forty families on average. 


Transfiguration contributed over $18,000 to these programs and agencies in 2018 and 2019:

Thermal Belt Outreach Ministries
Steps to Hope
Polk County Schools
Saluda Living in Place
Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Tryon
Saluda Fire and Rescue
Hendersonville Rescue Mission
Local and National Disaster Relief


 ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family,
you did it to me.’
