We’re ready to work together.
In Maury County, our people care about making life here better—and working together to ensure it happens. We treasure this place and want to give back. This generosity is apparent in the work of nonprofits, churches and other organizations tackling a wide range of local concerns.
Get Plugged In: Meet Maury
Coordinated by the Maury County Chamber & Economic Alliance, Meet Maury is a four-week program designed to help new residents become part of our community. Participants have the chance to learn from local leaders, find ways to get involved and make an impact on their new home.

Standing Together for Justice
Following the racially motivated church shooting in Charleston in the summer of 2015, two Maury County pastors, Russ Adcox and Trent Ogilvie, wondered what their community could do.
The result was Stand Together Fellowship, which fosters conversations among Maury County residents about race, justice and community development. A related organization, the Columbia Peace & Justice Initiative (CPJI), focuses on researching and sharing information about the history of racial injustice in Maury County.
Together, these efforts work toward making Columbia—and all of Maury County—a better, stronger community.
“Maury County is unique in that the religious community, business community and local government have the ability to work together on common goals. We all just want to see our community thrive and be a great place to live, work, and raise a family.” — Russ Adcox, Pastor of Maury Hills Church
