OUR WORLD

Ministry Guides
Ministry Guides are available to help you explore how you can use the unique gifts God has given you to serve Him in this body of believers. Contact Dori Smith for more information.

Building Hope – Building Hope is about developing a connection with a community of Kenyans who chose to form a United Methodist church because our member, missionary Julie Campbell, and our congregation, are United Methodist. We believe that God is calling us to reach out in faith and form a partnership with this new church. Our prayer is for God to guide us in this ongoing relationship with this church and community in Kenya so that Hope UMC can become a beacon of God’s love in hope.

Human Trafficking Awareness – A group of people from our church and community meet regularly to promote awareness and ways to abolish Human Trafficking, an issue that affects not only those across the globe, but right here in our own back yard.  People all over the world, mostly women and children, face slavery, sexual exploitation and other forms of violent oppression. Through partnering with social justice organizations such as International Justice Mission, Love 146 and others, this group hopes to help abolish and bring about change and freedom for the oppressed, all in the name of bringing His kingdom here on earth.

Operation Christmas Child – Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse that provides impoverished children around the globe with shoeboxes every Christmas filled with gifts and necessities.

Global Aid Network – The GAIN distribution center is located less than five miles from our church. A ministry of Campus Crusade For Christ, the GAIN center gathers, packs and sends food, crisis supplies and other aid to countries in the poorest and most war-torn nations around the globe.

HOPE International – HOPE International is a Christian faith-based, nonprofit organization based in Lancaster that focuses on poverty alleviation through microenterprise development.
