Missions & Community Engagement
And the king will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.” - Matthew 25:40

The following groups and committees facilitate our church's involvement in mission and community engagement locally and beyond. We invite you to browse each one, visit a meeting or two, and find your best place to get involved and help make an impact. Want some guidance? Contact Rev. Sarah Marsalis-Luginbill at sarah@fumcr.com.
