How Can We Serve Our Community?

United Methodist Church founder John Wesley said "Do all the good we can, by all the means we can, in all the ways we can, in all the places we can, at all the times we can, to all the people we can, as long as ever we can."


Living our faith means finding ways to care for each other.
