At the United Methodist Church of Casa Grade, we believe that our faith is best lived out beyond the walls of our sanctuary. Inspired by the life of Jesus and the Wesleyan tradition of "social holiness," we are committed to being the hands and feet of Christ in our local neighborhood and across the globe.
Our mission is simple: to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. For us, transformation begins with showing up for our neighbors.
Our Four Areas of Focus
As part of the global United Methodist connection, our outreach efforts focus on four key areas where we believe we can make the greatest impact:
-
Engaging in Ministry with the Poor: We don’t just give from a distance; we seek to walk with our neighbors, addressing the root causes of poverty while providing immediate relief through our local food pantries and clothing drives.
-
Improving Global Health: We partner with organizations like UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) to fight diseases like malaria and provide clean water and medical supplies to communities in need.
-
Leading Where God Calls: We invest in the next generation by mentoring young leaders and providing scholarships, ensuring the future of our community is bright and faith-led.
-
Creating New Spaces for Grace: We are constantly looking for new, creative ways to reach people where they are—whether that’s through community gardens, local gatherings, or digital ministry.
Outreach is a journey we take together. Whether you have an hour to volunteer or a passion for a specific cause, there is a place for you here.
-
Volunteer: Join one of our outreach activities and events.
-
Donate: Your financial gifts and material donations (like school supplies or non-perishable food) directly support our local mission partners.
-
