Missions

“Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.”
― John Wesley

Youth Missions: 
UMYF group participates in a mission trip each summer. They typically are in response to a crisis (natural disaster) or to help a family in need. Activities include, clean-up, construction, painting, and repairs. The team typically stays at a church in area they are serving. Shared responsibilities of the team members include meal prep, clean-up, worship planning, leading daily worship, and games. Individuals are assigned to lead hourly prayer during the day while working.
Adult Mission Project Team:
Mission trips take place various times throughout the year. These mission trips need donations of time, talents, and treasures to be successful.
Faith in Action:
Sunday worship is suspended while members of the church go out to the community to demonstrate Christian love, hands on. Projects include home repairs, yard work, painting, cleaning, letters to the city officials, mulching in city parks, and other tasks. That evening, we invite homeowners and tenants we served to a free potluck dinner at the church. Usually in the spring, but specific date varies.
Backpack Meals Program:
The Backpack Meals Program provides weekly backpacks of food to students in need at Watts Elementary. Having enough food to eat on the weekends helps fuel the bodies, minds, and hearts of these children who would otherwise struggle.
