The Ashland Ministerial Association is a non-profit organization of all the Christian Churches in Ashland-Greenwood-Memphis. They meet monthly to promote and coordinate ecumenial activities and further the spread of the Gospel in our cities. They also reach out to help those in need in our own community, particularly the poor who call for help. Monthly meetings are normally first Tuesdays at 10:00 AM at one of the Churches.
