The United Methodist Church asks its members to provide the church with Prayers, Presence, Gifts, Service, and Witness. There are many ways to serve others through our Church. Please consider some of these ministries as you decide where and how you will work for our Lord. In the words of our church founder, John Wesley, each of us should:
"Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.”
― John Wesley
