Mission

Mission Looking for a place where you can make a difference? Mission and outreach are an integral part of who we are at New Life United Methodist Church.

We strive to make a difference in our community through wood delivery, hosting homeless guests for a week, sharing gifts and music with local nursing homes, a Mission Garden and more. We have been to the Gulf Coast several times in an effort to rebuild lives and homes that have been damaged by Hurricane Katrina. We have also been in mission to Alaska and Costa Rica.

All age groups from grade school to our older adults participate in the various mission projects offered by the church.

  • Mission Garden Coordinator - We are looking for a mission minded gardener to help coordinate our Mission Garden for New Life UMC. We have several interested people who are ready to be a part of the team. The purpose of the Mission Garden is to help provide healthy alternatives to families in need in our community. Please see Missions Team Chair Les Deane, or Connections Director Lori Epps for more information.
  • McDowell County Mission Opportunity - We will be packing up our church trailer and loading all of the clothing items we have gleaned to take to the McDowell County mission.

    We have the exciting opportunity to offer a Children's Fair to the children in that community in conjunction with distributing the children's clothing to those in need. The vision is to offer face painting, games, food, and a smiling face to the children and families of McDowell County.

    We will leave from church on Friday, April 20th in the late afternoon/early evening to drive to McDowell County, West Virginia. We will offer the Fair on Saturday, April 21st. We are making plans for some to come back on Saturday while others can stay until Sunday to worship with the community.

    There will be a minimal cost for food and transportation. If you are interested in being on a planning team for the fair and/or attending this mission opportunity please sign-up with Missions Team Chair Les Deane, or Connections Director Lori Epps.

Contact Les Deane at or 804.320.4795 or Lori Epps at or 804.794.4522 if you have questions or for more information on upcoming mission opportunities and how to get plugged in!
