Our Work

        The First United Methodist Church of Oakwood is a mission-oriented and Holy Spirit-lead congregation. We participate in overseas and local missions.  Our overseas mission support extends to Mexico, Venezuela, Peru, Colombia, the Caribbean, Mozambique, the Middle East, with Wycliffe Bible Translators from Texas to the Solomon Islands, and in international evangelism with GO International. In the United States we support missionary efforts with Campus Crusade for Christ in Georgia and with Kentucky Cornerstone Mission in Beattyville, Kentucky. We also sent "Flood Buckets" and several mission teams to help with relief after Hurricane Katrina.

        Our local missions include assisting with Gainesville Action Ministries (GAM), serving meals at Good News at Noon, and helping needy families through the South Hall Community Food Pantry (SHCFP) which is located on our property and which we operate ecumenically in conjunction with St. Gabriel's Episcopal Church, Christ Lutheran Church, and The Springs Church. The food pantry provides food for needy families who have received vouchers from DFACS and GAM, or have emergency food needs. The SHCFP served 938 people in 2007, and has served over 838 so far in 2008.

        These are some of the numerous ways where you can plug-in and participate in the work of sharing the Gospel at the First United Methodist Church of Oakwood. We value your God given gifts, talents, and spirit. Come and join us in our work.
