Outreach

We have an "M & M" program which stands for "Methodist in Mission".

We believe in Matthew 25 and reach out to the "least of these" inside and outside our congregation.

We have many mission projects so there's something for everyone:

We support The Bookpacks for Kid's Program in partnership with China Grove Elementary School.

We also take a turn helping one night, 4 times a year ,at the Rowan Helping Ministries Shelter.

We Support Gordon Graner, A Missionary to Bolivia.

We Support The Bible Teaching Association At South Rowan and Jesse Carson High Schools.

The Construction Team arm of our Outreach Team travels on Mission Trips.

We went to Mississippi to help with Katrina Hurricane relief.

And 4 people went to Nicarauga on a WNC Conference Building Team.

Our most recent trip was to Austell, Ga to help with rebuilding after floods.

And we help locally in Construction Team Ministry too:

Our United Methodist Women work Missions too.
