Where can I go do?

God calls us to serve others. Together through Christ we can do big things. Working with 1 ministries like Welcome Tabe and Celebrate Recovery provide weekly opportunities to serve as the hands and feet of Christ. In addition, there are dozens of other ministries and missions where the church is involved.

WAYS TO SERVE

Church can happen when giving your time gives

someone new hope and

when opening hearts inspires joy.

God calls us to Go.Do. and serve others. Together through Christ we can Go and Do big things. Here at 1st UMC, you will find volunteers working faithfully with ministries like Welcome Table, Celebrate Recovery and Family Promise. But the work doesn't stop there.

Volunteers from the church are working across the community, across the country and around the world, helping improve the lives of others.

Three of our biggest ministries rely on the dedication of dozens of volunteers.

Celebrate Recovery happens each Wednesday
Welcome Table happens each Thursday
Family Promise hosting is a week long volunteer effort that happens several times throughout the year. Click here to sign up for the August 4th Training.

WHERE DO YOU WANT TO SERVE?

Outreach ministries at 1st UMC are based on

this scripture from Acts which gives us a call to "Go.Do."

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you;

and you will be my witness in Jerusalem,

and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the Earth.

Acts 1:8

Do you feel the call to "Go Do?"

If so, let us know the areas where you are wanting to help by clicking here.
