About the Greater Shallotte Ministerial Association
The Greater Shallotte Ministerial Association is a group of Christian leaders in the area united to raise the consciousness of our communities to the faith we share as people of God and to facilitate fellowship among local ministers.
Our focus is on inclusivity and unity amid the diversity of our many denominations. We recognize this is an ideal but one that is also realized in the gathering of the various communities to share in worship during the year.
Our hope is that one day we will truly live the words of St. Paul, “For, in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body…and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. Now, we are the body of Christ and individually members of it.” (1 Corinthians 12:13, 27)
