MISSIONS
MISSIONS | ADULT MINISTRIES
Living out our faith in the good news of Christ challenges us to transform a hurting world. Many of us volunteer in the community in schools, agencies, and groups that all engage in service to others. And our church also sponsors special mission projects and events that help others.
- Mission Opportunities
- Special mission projects and events that provide service and outreach to our community and world.
- Mission trips- Once or twice a year we sponsor people to travel to disaster areas both in the US and abroad to rebuild homes and schools and offer a friendly, consoling presence to those who are hurting.
- Roseville Food Kitchen- On the last Monday of the month, we’re in charge of preparing and serving up lunch to those in need at the First United Methodist Church in Roseville. Any one is welcome to work with us.
- Gathering Inn—We also prepare meals for the homeless at the Gathering Inn and soon we will be an overnight stay for them.
- Kenya Project-We’re working to feed, educate, and support the next generation of Kenyan leaders in our 10 year project with the people of Nyalinda, Kenya. Our offerings have created a school, dormitories, chicken coop, and birthing center to house many of the poor children in the area. Each is fed, clothed, and given the opportunity for education.
- Ministry Opportunities in our Congregation
