Outreach

At first UMC we are committed to not only supporting missions financially, but being present to those in need and showing the love of Christ through lending a hand. We believe there isn’t an age requirement to share the love of Christ allowing people of all ages to participate.

Local Mission Teams

Several projects a year are completed by our local mission teams. We answer the call when possible to assist our elderly citizens with repairs and new projects such as handicap ramps, fixing and hanging doors, deck repairs, and yard work. These dedicated volunteers give of their time to assist others in need.

Good Neighbors Project

In 2016 we joined with the City of Azle, Servolution Network, local businesses, other church denominations, and community volunteers to assist local families make much needed repairs they are unable themselves to complete. These repairs bringing their homes in line with city codes.

Twice a year, in April and October, we gather with 400-500 volunteers for a two-day work weekend to help these families. Work includes new siding, roofs, landscaping, painting entire houses, handicap ramps and much, much more. Since the cost for these projects is covered by an agreement with the city along with local businesses, churches, and community donations there is no cost to the families. All work is completed by volunteers organized through the Servolution Network.
