>> Missions & Service, Missions, Missions

The purpose of Mission Ministries is to exemplify the grace and love of God to our community and our world through Christian love in action.

    “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” -Acts 1:8

    There are three areas of focus for Missions at First United Methodist Mansfield:

    Serve Our Neighbor

    We are at work in our community and beyond, with ministries that care for the needs of those who are economically distressed, those who feel forgotten or alienated, and those who struggle on the margins, we seek to serve as Christ would serve.

    Serve Our World

    The call for us to be witnesses to the ends of the earth is not something that we take lightly.  If the kingdom of God is to come to pass, it will be because His people made it so. We seek to transform the world through ministries that take the message and Grace of a loving God beyond our community.  2012 Mission Trips are now posted online.

    The Wesley Mission Center

    We light the path to self-sufficiency and resolve problems by providing food, clothing, financial and other assistance to those in our community that are in need or distress.
