Open hearts. Open minds. Open doors.
Go on a Mission Trip
Nehemiah Mission
Consider spending a day, a weekend or a week in the great city of Cleveland, Ohio for the glory of God. The Nehemiah Mission (6515 Bridge Ave., Cleveland, OH 44102), a ministry of the UMC North Coast District, has work for you in homes and churches that need your help!
Work can include building porches or ramps, painting houses, fixing up Sunday School rooms, doing yard work, working in soup kitchens and food pantries, sorting clothes in resale stores and free stores, helping with Vacation Bible Schools, etc. What you will be doing depends on your skills and interests.
Whatever you want to accomplish in the city, Nehemiah Mission can find a place for you to do it! Check out the Nehemiah website for more information: http://www.ncdistrictumc.org/Nehemiah_mission.htm
Youth Work Camp
Our Senior High Youth lead us in Mission as they plan an annual week long mission experience. This year their trip was June 22 - 27 in Grand Rapids, Michigan as part of G.R.A.S.P. (Grand Rapids Area Service Project). The Youth spent their week in the inner city helping those in need. Adult volunteers are always welcome for this awesome experience of encountering God as we build up his kingdom on earth. To read more about our Youth, click here.
Volunteers in Mission
The United Methodist Church's General Board of Global Ministry established Volunteers in Mission so that every person in the church has the opportunity to serve and to live their calling and their lives more faithfully.
Opportunities for mission trips in both the US and internationally are available. Talk to our members who have participated in these amazing mission experiences:
