Outreach Ministries challenge and educate us to live the gospel as we are called to proclaim through acts of love and grace to the least and the lost in our neighborhoods. Outreach ministries are community based and supported by GCUMC. Our human and financial resources work together for Christ’s mission in a crazy world. The folks at GCUMC are very involved in local needs, regional challenges, and global initiatives. Please join us in our joyous work; in the United Methodist Church, all are welcome.
Please see some of our efforts below and consider prayerfully where you may be called to help. While everything we do from Vacaction Bible School to Stephen Ministry are all outreach, this is just a partial listing.
