Serving Our Community

Serving Clarksville through practical care, trusted partnerships, and a commitment to love our neighbors well.

At Madison Street, we extend love to God and neighbor through prayer, generosity, and service. Our congregation responds to real needs in Clarksville by feeding the hungry, supporting health and nutrition, extending care to neighbors experiencing hardship, and working alongside trusted community partners who are deeply engaged in their areas of service.

Members of Madison Street participate through volunteer service, financial support, education, and advocacy. Together we seek to serve faithfully and build lasting relationships in our community.

Emergency warming shelter

For the past three winters, Madison Street has partnered with Urban Ministries to operate an emergency warming shelter for Clarksville’s unhoused community during periods of dangerous cold.

In a city of more than **160,000 people—the fifth largest in Tennessee—**this ministry meets a critical need when temperatures drop below safe levels.

Working together with Urban Ministries, Madison Street hosted Clarksville’s only emergency warming center last winter. This year, Madison Street houses men during severe cold weather events while the Salvation Army provides shelter for women and children.

On these nights, our building becomes a place of warmth, safety, food, and rest. Volunteers prepare meals, welcome guests, stay overnight, and ensure that our neighbors have a safe place to be when conditions outside become dangerous.

This work reflects a simple conviction: when the cold becomes life-threatening, the church should be a place where the lights are on and the doors are open.

f.u.e.l.

  • All across America children go without food every weekend.

  • F.U.E.L. is a ministry designed to feed children whose only food source may be the food they are receiving at school.

  • YOU CAN HELP!

 

We collect non-perishable food items and place them into grocery style bags. The bags are delivered to the school and placed directly into the backpacks of the children. Children are selected by the schools, not based on income, but on signs of hunger. We deliver food bags to Norman Smith Elementary School.

 

FOOD DONATIONS

Food donations can include small, easy-to-open  cereal boxes, fruit cups, packaged crackers, granola bars, 100% juice boxes, pop tarts and pudding cups. These items can be dropped off in the F.U.E.L. trunk just inside the Commerce Street entrance.

 

F.U.E.L. BAG DELIVERY VOLUNTEERS

F.U.E.L. bags will be prepared by noon each Wednesday.  Delivery volunteers may pick up the bags after that time or on Thursday mornings.  

Bags must be delivered to Norman Smith Elementary, 740 Greenwood Avenue (approximately 3-5 minutes from the church) between 8:45 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. on Thursdays.
