Outreach & Missions
On Aug. 23, 2015, FUMC had a dunk tank to help raise funds to buy a fire truck for the Northern Cheyenne reservation in Montana. Here's Rev. Kim ready for the plunge, as kids and adults took turns throwing the ball. We raised over $600 that day.
First United Methodist Church is very actively involved in a variety of mission projects. Some projects involve us through hands-on volunteering. Others involve us through fundraising. Many do both. We welcome your participation!
Monthly Mission Emphases
Each month at First United Methodist Church, we highlight a monthly mission project. Loose change in the offering plates and monies designated for that project are given as a gift from our church. On the second Sunday of each month, a 3-minute Mission Emphasis is given during worship, highlighting the local charity or denominational mission project for that month. This year's mission projects are the following.
2023
January - Souper Bowl of Caring (Catholic Community Services Food Pantry)
February - Teachers' Fund (to support classroom expenses of our FUMC public school teachers)
March - Pinecliff UM Camp (near Coaldale, UT)
April - UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief)
May - United Methodist Men's (Stobaugh) Scholarship Fund
June - Native American School Supplies
July - Pastor's Discretionary Fund
August - Pura Vida Student Scholarships
September - Diaper Drive
October - Veterans Home Activities Fund
November - Sub for Santa (Christmas gifts for Utah Foster Kids)
December - Lantern House (homeless shelter)
