Mission work is woven into the fabric of our church.  Many of the groups, classes, organizations and age-related ministries are engaged in reaching out in the name of Christ.  In addition, our Missions Committee helps connect people from the congregation and the community to those most vulnerable and in need.  Our mission work includes opportunities locally to touch the lives of our neighbors, and globally to share the love of Christ across the globe.  There is a chance for everyone to participate through giving and hands-on ministry.  We are the hands of Christ!  Come, help make a difference!    

For additional information, please contact Rev. Heather McDuffee at heatherm@fumc-cs.org, 719-471-8522 x151. If you would like to volunteer for any of our mission and outreach activities, please submit the Volunteer Sign-Up Form on this page.

Collection of kits or any parts you wish to donate will take place in the FUMC Hospitality Center on Sundays May 1 -  May 25.

UMCOR repsonds to disasters and areas of need all over the globe. As members of the United Methodist Church, we can help provide much-needed resources for when they are called into action. This year, all United Methodist churches in Colorado Springs are invited to donate kits to be transported to our UMCOR Center in Sager Brown, Baldwin Louisiana.

This year, the Missions Committee and United Women in Faith will focus on collecting school and health kits. Lists of items needed to put kits together can be found here: HYGIENE KIT NEEDS/ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS and SCHOOL KIT NEEDS/ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS.

Please mark your bags clearly UMCOR KITS when you bring them to the church on or before May 25.
Thank you for your generous support!

Family Promise provides a way for local communities to respond to the needs of their homeless neighbors. Congregations have found that the Family Promise mission provides an effective way to be involved in a hands-on outreach program that serves the homeless and also fosters congregational unity and interfaith cooperation. Due to COVID, Family Promise is asking their faithful church volunteers to provide meals for the families for a week.

If you would like to provide a meal during the week of May 2, please contact Katy.
