DAYBREAK IS NOW OPEN!
DayBreak is a ministry of 1st United Methodist Church that opened in October 2024
at the 1st UMC @ Sycamore Tree Campus.
Our Mission
DayBreak respite program exists for Christian disciples to serve families tasked with continual care of a loved one diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. DayBreak serves as a safe place to provide social, physical, and intellectual stimulation for participants while providing a respite and support for caregivers and those who need to work.
This ministry is part of the mission hub of 1st UMC @Sycamore Tree located at 1830 Clydesdale Street in Maryville.
There will be a need for both volunteers and families who can benefit from the respite program.
Please spread the word and make referrals. Inquiries about both can be made by emailing
info@daybreakcare.org or calling 865-315-2371.
Our new website is ready. Please visit to see it and to learn more about our program
