As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.             1 Peter 4:10

The Missions Work Area is responsible for many mission projects both local and world-wide.  We need every church member to be involved to reach out and love our neighborhood and world!  Here are some of the Missions we support:

The Herrins

We support a Missionary Family, The Herrins, who serve in Monterrey, Mexico.  Jon Herrin teaches at the seminary there and encourages pastors and leaders of the church.  His wife teaches in a private school, and all 3 of their children are involved in ministry with their peers!

UMCOR

Whenever there is a natural disaster, we give through the United Methodist Committee on Releif.  We also give to UMCOR through our Alternative Christmas Project.

Gwinnett Children’s Shelter

Our church hosts the children from the local shelter once a month at our Community Supper.  We have been to the shelter to do landscaping, and also support the work there with an offering through the Alternative Christmas Project.
