Missions

Fairhope United Methiodist Church has a history of commitment to missions. Through financial support and hand-on ministry, our membership seeks to do God's will both locally and abroad. We strive to equip people in ways that will allow them to serve in this ministry based on their spiritual gifts, desires, and availability.

We support several missionaries financially to help them spread the good news of Jesus Christ in foreign lands. We send mission teams annually to Costa Rica and Mexico to lend aid and support to missionaries in their work.  We have also served in India and Ghana.

Locally, there is much to be done and our mission team works diligently to find projects to allow our volunteers to be involved in some aspect of mission work. One way we help locally is through supporting Ecumenical Ministries, a local agency that ministers to people who need help. This service provides food, clothing, and appropriate monetary relief.

Youth Mission Work is also a part of who we are and what we do. The youth of our church have been instrumental in reaching out to various regions within the United States. In 2006, they went to Anchorage, Alaska to work with the homeless and volunteer in soup kitchens.  In 2007, they served in Cortez,Colorado and in 2008, a team of 29 youth and adults served in ministry to the people of Calais, Maine.

If you are interested, come give us a try and know the fruits of your labor will only prove you can give all you have, but you can never outgive God's blessings in return.
