Ministries for Children
WOW
Worship on Wednesdays (WOW) is an interactive faith formation experience for children ages 4-years-old through sixth grade. We believe we’re in the business of helping parents raise heroic children, willing to go ChildAndYouthMinistries_WOWLogoagainst the tide, because they embrace a better way to live and know how to ask God for help.
This once a month event runs from 5:30-7:30 p.m. and includes a family dinner, music, lessons from the Bible, crafts and projects.
This program attempts to respect the busy schedules most families manage, while still providing a meaningful and integrated spiritual formation experience for children. Parents are invited to take the time following dinner and closing worship to relax in the Fireside Room, join others for a destination downtown (just a block away) or run an errand.

Community Ministries
ASAP
ASAP is an after school enrichment program that provides support, encouragement and nurture to middle-school youth to assist them toward a positive transition into adolescence. It is a program cosponsored by four Silverton churches: First Christian Church, Immanuel Lutheran Church, St. Paul’s Catholic Church, and Silverton United Methodist Church.
ASAP is designed to enrich and empower middle-school youth so they will:
grow academically through homework and tutoring opportunities and support;
grow socially through character building exercises;
develop emotionally and physically through health and recreation programs, and;
feel safe and secure while being supervised by competent and caring staff and volunteers.
Volunteers are needed for Kitchen Teams, Tutoring, and for Recreation and Special Interests (things like knitting and photography.)
For more information visit the ASAP website or contact coordinator ; [email protected].
Healthy Snack Sacks
This program grew out of a heart-felt call to answer the needs of children and families who are food-insecure. Volunteers gather every Thursday to pack small lunch sacks with healthy treats provided by donation from members of the congregation. Each sack is decorated by yet another volunteer who embellishes them with simple but fun images. Sacks are prepared for children and for teens with an age-appropriate treat. Cards are included that say Friends Helping Friends, from your friends at Silverton United Church.
Contact Donna Eberle (503) 873-2451; [email protected]
Weekend Backpack Program
Our church has partnered with Scotts Mills school which identifies three or four families (anonymous to us) in need of an extra boost over the weekend. Each Friday, food suitable for the family’s size is packed and taken to the school for distribution to the selected families. These backpacks contain the same card that’s included in the Healthy Snack Sacks.

Silverton United Methodist Church History
Church History
The history of Silverton United Methodist Church dates back more than a century to the early days of Oregon’s history. Silverton was originally a part of the old Butteville Circuit, and one of the early pastors was Enoch Garrison. At the Fourth Quarterly Conference held July 5, 1856, it was reported that two men had each offered a town lot in Silverton on which to build a church. Methodists started camp meetings here about that time.
Apparently the offer of a free lot had changed by 1882, because a church lot was purchased that year at the corner of Fiske and Main for the sum of $250. The cornerstone was laid on May 6, 1882 and the new church was rapidly built, with dedication services held on August 30. In 1906 the church was modernized by putting a basement under the original structure.
On Easter Sunday, April 5, 1953, the cornerstone for the present church building was laid. First, the beautiful new sanctuary was completed, and in a few years the congregation completed the church school addition and fellowship hall. The original building that dated to 1882 was then demolished. These facilities were dedicated on October 15, 1961. Then, in the Fall of 1963, the Fireside Room and more church school classrooms were added, completing the building program that was envisioned in 1952. In 1989, the church undertook a remodeling program to install an elevator and to make the building accessible to all.
Silverton United Methodist Church celebrated the centennial of their founding in 1958, and in 2008 held another celebration to recognize that for 150 years the Methodist Church has been a part of Silverton life. There are many who have been active in the church for years, and each year a new “class” of fifty-year members is honored and inducted into this select group.
Our present modern church stands as a living memorial to the many many people whose personal sacrifice, labor and love have made a vague dream become a reality. Our church continues to serve God and our community in numerous ways, strengthening the faith of our members and making the church facilities available to various community groups and organizations. To serve as our Lord served is our goal.
