Outreach Ministry

The mission of the Outreach
Ministry of Gainesville First
is to demonstrate Christian love
through actions and activities
that relieve suffering and
improve the quality of life. 
We believe that members
of our congregation grow
in faith through service
and that the lives of those
served may be transformed
with hope.  As such, GFUMC
embraces mission opportunities
both locally and globally.

 “Do all the good you can,
by all the means you can,
in all the ways you can,
at all the times you can,
to all the people you can,
as long as you can.”
John Wesley

About GFUMC's Outreach Ministry

From its beginnings, Methodism has stressed that personal salvation leads to involvement in Christian mission in the world. At Gainesville First UMC, we hold fast to the doctrinal emphasis that faith and good works belong together. 

Our church engages in a number of outreach ministries, both locally and globally. In 2008, the Outreach Ministry of GFUMC focused locally on the needs of children and four local organizations serving those needs: Boys and Girls Clubs, Gateway Domestic Violence Center Children’s Program, Good News Clinics – children’s medical and dental needs, and L.A.M.P. Ministry. In addition, we support GFUMC’s Urban Ministry with the children of Baker Glover Mobile Home Community. 

Globally, GFUMC supports missionaries in Romania and Mexico, partner churches in Serbia, the Caribbean Christian Center for the Deaf in Jamaica, Orphanage Emmanuel in Honduras, and the West African Theological Seminary in Nigeria.
