We Love Avondale

South Meridian Church is thankful to be a neighbor in the Avondale neighborhood. Years ago, the congregation at that time decided to stay in this location instead of moving outside of Anderson city limits to build a new facility. With this decision came the opportunity to more deeply and intentionally connect with our neighbors.

Although the Covid-19 pandemic impacted all of us and the ways that we have gathered and connected with each other, we are grateful for this new season of opportunity to build good, healthy relationships within this neighborhood.

City of Anderson Neighborhood crime watch

We believe that when neighbors know each other and our local law enforcement team, we are all safer. To this end, we are happy to host a monthly Anderson Police Department Neighborhood Crime Watch.

Two monthly crime watch meetings are hosted in Avondale. Both are open to the public.

Coordinator: Cherilyn Horning
