The Global Methodist Church (GMC) believes that mission work is important and encourages each congregation to participate in both local missions and worldwide missions. While our small church has just begun, we are already striving to support local missions!
LOCAL MISSIONS:
CURRENT MISSION:
Ongoing - Teenager Support Mission: This will be an on-going mission by way of monetary donations that will be used to purchase gift cards for teenagers in need. This age group of children are often forgotten about, but many are still in need and like to shop for their own clothing or personal items.
Ongoing - $100 per month is given to Emerald Coast Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
Ongoing - $200 per month is given to One Hopeful Place to help feed the homeless in our area.
PREVIOUS MISSION WORK:
March 2024 - Congregants brought in non-perishable food items to donate towards both students and Silver Sands School and Catholic Charities, a food bank at which the students work in order to learn job skills.
April 2024 - Congregants brought in paper goods for Children in Crisis, a local set of foster homes that are capable of housing larger groups of siblings. The homes go through paper products quickly: toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, plates, and tissues.
