Missions
LCUMC makes a REAL IMPACT through our Mission Outreach!
Click Here to donate to any of our mission outreach projects.
To be the hands and feet of Jesus means that we do the things that Jesus would do:
Share the story of God's love; feed the hungry; clothe the poor; encouraged the disheartened;
heal the sick, etc. At LCUMC, we give our time and energy as well as our resources. When we
encourage our children and youth to participate in giving themselves away, we create a
compassionate heart for tomorrow's world's leaders. Come and get your whole family
involved in loving others!

We provide over 100 Easter Baskets so that every child knows that Easter is a big
event - because Christ is Risen! We also volunteer to clean and prepare the landscaping for
spring and summer.

national or global disaster. When such a catastrophe occurs, LCUMC immediately gathers funds or
supplies to support UMCOR.
Apportionments - LCUMC supports the global mission and ministry of the greater United Methodist Church
through our budgeted "fair share". Together, we can make a greater impact with outreach around the world.
By ourselves, we could never do so much!
