Parish and Community Ministry
While the United Methodist Church is a global church, loving the entire world with the grace of Jesus, we know that the “entire world” begins right outside our back door. Being at work in our local communities is at the heart of our ministry in the world. Because we are people living in many and varied communities, that ministry happens in many and varied ways.
The Parish and Community Ministry section includes links to some of the ways our churches are at work in the world as well as connections that help us learn from one another and from the experiences of the broader church. If you have experiences in ministry within your local community that you would like to share with others, please contact Rev. Dawne Phillips at the Central Texas Conference Service Center (dawnephillips@ctcumc.org) and we’ll talk about how you can invite other congregations to learn, grow and serve along with you.
