Mission at First UMC
Mission, or helping others, is both local and global. We support such organizations as the Food Bank and Friendship House. Our building is used by several AA groups, NA group, Campfire, Cubs Scouts, and AARP. We sponsor BSA Troop # 5 and have developed what we referr to as YIMBY or "Yes In My Back Yard". This annual event pairs up needs and workers throughout the congregation, who on a Sunday to jobs that many of our seniors need done to remain in their homes.
We support world and national mission projects (Habitat for Humanity, the Schweitzer Hospital in Haiti and various disaster relief appeals) as well as the mission projects of our denomination.
