Missions

Common Heart, a grassroots movement in Union County NC, started in July 2006 with the simple desire of four friends to bridge the gap between our faith and concrete practical demonstrations of God’s love. This rag tag group grew behind the scenes and was hidden for years. Many new friends joined in and we just served, loved and grew. In recent years annually feeding more than 16,000 families. 

Mephibosheth, pronounced Muh-fib-uh-sheth, started out as a foundation Quarter Horse breeding farm, owned and operated by current executive directors Michael and Ruby Harris. The name comes from the the book of Samuel. Mephibosheth was Saul’s grandson who was lame in his feet. When David came upon the throne, Mephibosheth feared for his life. Mephibosheth thought that because of his disability and family David would kill him. However, David showed mercy and honored Mephibosheth by letting him sit at his table for the rest of his life. (2 Samuel 4:4, 19:26). Just as King David invited Mephibosheth to his table Mephibosheth Farm is a place where everyone is equal.
