Walker Community UMC is
committed to outreach with our community
On the Second Sunday and Last Monday of each month
we provide a community meal for all to attend.
The doors open to serve at 5:30PM and we serve until 7:00PM. It takes many hands to set up, cook, serve
and clean. If you are interested in
helping please contact the office at 612-722-6612 or office@walkerchurch.org.
Fiscal agency
For many years,
Walker has been offering its services as a fiscal agent to assist both
short-term community initiatives (neighborhood beautification committees,
single-time collections for disaster relief in other countries) and for startup
nonprofits.
If you would like to apply for fiscal agency, please contact the office at
612-722-6612 or office@walkerchurch.org.
We will
schedule a meeting for you with Walker's Administrative Council. Please bring
to the meeting 15 copies of the following: a description of your organization
and purpose (or your business plan), a listing of the board of directors (or
responsible parties), and any brochures or printed information. Let us know if
you need an accountant or will be doing your own bookkeeping, and how much
financial activity you expect to have.
Walker charges a small percentage fee to act as
fiscal agent (from 0-10%). The size of the fee depends upon the amount of
financial activity, the length of time we will act as agent, the amount of
accounting work that will be required of our staff, and the closeness of fit
with the goals of the church. Example: For an ongoing relationship in which we
provide bookkeeping services for monthly transactions, we might charge 7-10%.
For a one-time volunteer mission trip by someone affiliated with the
congregation, we would likely provide fiscal agency for free.
Space Rental
We rent both our stage/sanctuary and various rooms for office space. Office
space is available to nonprofit groups whose work aligns with the mission of
the church. Currently, all office space is rented, but if you are interested or
inquiring in the future, please contact the office at 612-722-6612 or office@walkerchurch.org. Stage rental is ongoing.
Each year we have and Arts and Crafts sale early in
December. Vendors are encouraged to
please contact the office at 612-722-6612 or office@walkerchurch.org.
Each spring and fall Walker Church has rummage sales. We collect items through out the year. We see these sales as both an opportunity to raise funds for the mission of the church and to provide reuse opportunities for items that would be discarded and a pleasant shopping opportunity for our neighbors.
