Missions and Outreach

There is not ample space to list all of the outreach of the many missions-oriented organizations of this church.

We are constantly in service, from providing help to the needy, one on one, renovating the homes of the elderly, providing support and leadership to the Red Cross, fund raising for our missionaries, Wesley Woods Geriatric Center, the Methodist Children's Home and the Hefer Project, to delivering meals to shut-ins on Thanksgiving Day.

Wesley's 300th birthday- 1703-2003. Wesley, born in England June 17, 1703, was the 15th of 19 children. He is the founder of "Methodism" in which the Methodist church is based.

John Wesley had many inspiring messages including this motto adopted by our Youth Mission programs:

"Do all the good you can,
by all of the means you can,
in all of the places you can,
in all of the ways you can,
at all the times you can,
to all the people you can,
for as long as you ever can!"

He also said, "Catch on fire with enthusiasm and people will come for miles to watch you burn."
