The Paducah Cooperative Ministry seeks to do God’s work with human hands by drawing together individuals and congregations to respond to basic human needs and conditions.
By examining needs, determining priorities and strategies, and implementing action, we seek to:
Provide programs and services to meet human needs
Promote a spirit of trust and cooperation among individuals and groups to meet the needs of our local community
Give visibility to human needs in the city of Paducah and McCracken County
Encourage community organizations to work together to meet these needs.
Led by Executive Director Lacy Boling, our dedicated staff works tirelessly to provide essential support to those in need, offering services, guidance, and hope. They are supported by a committed Board of Directors, elected from participating congregations, who help ensure our mission remains strong and impactful in the community.
If your congregation was accidentally omitted, please don’t hesitate to let us know.
