Local Missions is a group of people, willing to take ownership in the process of planning and providing opportunities for our church members to reach out to those in need through local projects in order to make a small difference in someone's life and in our community.

FUMC has staffed a Meals on Wheels delivery route for many years. We go out in teams of two; each team delivers one day a month. Time commitment is about 1½ hours (10:30am-12noon, M-F). We often need volunteers who can help on a regular basis or as a substitute when it fits your schedule. Registration and training are required and will be provided.  Click here for more information.

We support our local schools with tutoring, mentorships, fundraisers, teacher support, prayer, food, and acts of loving kindness. Click here for more information.

St Pete First Street Ministry: Our mission is to provide 5-6 meals per month at St Vincent de Paul Homeless Shelter on the 1st Monday, 1st Tuesday, 2nd Tuesday, 2nd Wednesday, and 4th Monday of each month. A team of 5 to 7 cooks prepare the meals in our church kitchen. A team of 7 – 11 individuals serve the meals to around 85 people each night.

We also provide vocational services at the Salvation Army 4th Street South location, including resume preparation, creating email addresses, internet job search and other needed services.

Any female with any kind of life challenge is welcome to join the group. We love and support one another using the 8 principles from the Sermon on the Mount and the 12 steps. Our inclusive program can help with a large number of issues from addictions to anger, low self-esteem, past hurts, and current difficulties.

We meet at 6:30 PM on Thursdays in the Chapel and open with a time of worship and either a lesson or testimony.  Following, we have an hour of time to confidentially share, without interruption, any current struggles or ESH (experience, strength and hope) that we have gathered along our individual journeys.  We do not tell each other what to do.  We share ideas and possibilities for each to consider.  Throughout all our time together, Christ offers the solutions we need.
