Missions

First United Methodist Church of Colleyville is involved with various mission outreach projects both locally and abroad.  We support GRACE (a food and clothing bank), SafeHaven of Tarrant County (a domestic violence shelter), and SLAB (a street ministry for homeless persons).  Rukang Chikomb  is our missionary.  Special offerings are taken during the year for other mission opportunities.

Angel Tree

Angel Tree is an outreach to the children of people who are in prison. Individuals from FUMC Colleyville purchase, wrap and deliver Christmas gifts to children whose prisoner-parent makes a request for help. Every Christmas Season, we deliver gifts to and share the Christmas story with families in the Ft. Worth area.

GRACE
GRACE needs crackers!  Our church family has a long-standing commitment to providing crackers and peanut butter to GRACE.  Help us meet this current need!  Donations can be brought to the church or taken to GRACE.

At least once per year our youth canvas local neighborhoods for food items that will stock the shelves of GRACE in Grapevine. A fun activity reaps big rewards!

Methodist Children's Home  

Methodist Children's home in Waco provides services that protect, support and enhance the lives of children, youth and their families. Each year the Home cares for nearly 400 youth who are experiencing family conflicts.  Families who have nowhere else to turn can get help at Methodist Children's Home regardless of their financial or religious background.

Safe Haven-Women's Shelter

Safe Haven provides a safe place for women and their children who are the victims of domestic violence. Our church provides clothing and household items for these women since many of them arrive at the shelter with only the clothes on their backs. Each year in the weeks leading up to Mother’s Day, our congregation participates in a “Fill the Pool” drive by collecting new bathing suits, beach towels, sunscreen, etc. for shelter residents.

SLAB

Once each month, people from FUMC Colleyville travel to Ft. Worth to work at SLAB, a ministry to homeless people. We sort and distribute clothing and feed those who come.
