First United Methodist Church of Orlando

Outreach Home

Welcome to the Outreach Homepage.  First United Methodist Church of Orlando is actively involved in many outreach ministries in our local community and the world.  This involvement ranges from financial support to meeting specific needs to ‘hands-on’ volunteer participation.

The Outreach Team at First Church coordinates many of these activities and wants to give everyone the opportunity to take part.  We are all called to serve God in our community, to reach out to those in need.

“...let us love, not just in word or speech, but in truth and action.” 1John 3:18

Outreach is Christ’s love in action.  Whether its hammering a nail at a Habitat home, serving a meal at the Coalition for the Homeless, or buying a pair of new shoes for a child in need in the Dominican Republic, outreach is our way of expressing Christ’s love through our actions.

You can explore the information about particular Outreach ministries through the tabs below the outreach homepage.  If you are looking for ways to get involved, feel free to contact Britt Gilmore at the church (britt@fumc-orl.org or 407-849-6080).
