Memorial Drive Ministries

Shallowford united with our Presbytery and several local Presbyterian churches to envision and create a non-profit organization on the campus of Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church. The Mission of Memorial Drive Ministries (MDM) is to foster diverse worshiping communities, innovative social services, and transformative relationships.    

Shallowford supports several of the new church developments that meet on the MDM campus through service on its advisory councils and collaboration with their members. Several of the non-profit organizations at MDM seek donations and volunteers from the Shallowford community.
