The people of the North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church, minister in a myriad of wonderful ways.
Below we offer you links for places where you can serve, can take your hands and place them on the hands of those whom Jesus calls … “the least of these.”
We also, offer links where you can join in the ministry through your financial gifts and prayer, places that go where we may not be able to go and act as an extension of our hands and our feet.
Please consider giving and serving in both “places to serve” and “ministries to support.” We simply will never know the fullness of Christ until we move beyond our pews, our comfort zones, and our well formulated perceptions of what is and what is not. This we do in mission. This we do with the service of our hands and our hearts. This is where we touch Jesus, and find that he was holding us all along.
