What is your passion?

Picture
First UMC Middletown welcomes and guides people who are yearning to put their personal gifts to use in ways that lift their hearts and transform the world into the image of God. We call your passions dedicated to God’s work “ministries,” and specific goals in ministries “missions.” 

What is YOUR passion that can magnify God’s presence in Middletown and the world? Share it with us, and we'll suggest a ministry that's right for you.  If you like to have a preliminary and open-ended discussion of your ideas and hopes for ministries and missions, we invite you to explore some of the possibilities below. Feel free discuss your ideas and hopes with us after our worship services, or contact outreach@fumcmiddletownct.org to learn more. 


What can you do through ministries?

  • Helping others – Supporting Middletown’s people with their most pressing needs – food, housing, education, caring for neglected people, and spiritual peace – are key ministries that benefit from faith-filled people.
  • Creative arts – If you have a knack for using your hands, your voice, your instruments or your tools to create inspiration, First Middletown has many ministries that can help to bring God’s light to the world through you.
  • Teaching and child care – If you love working with children, First Middletown has ministries to care for children and to help bring God’s word to them in fresh, new ways.
  • Sports and outdoor activities – If you love playing or organizing sports or outdoor activities, First Middletown can help you to frame them with elements of faith that can make them more valuable experiences.
  • Community development – If you’re a local business person or involved in Middletown’s many education, health, and services institutions, First Middletown’s ministries to encourage positive, sustainable development that help everyone to succeed will benefit from your faith-filled participation.
  • Global development – God loves the whole world, and so the people of First Middletown try to love the world as God does. Our commitment to ministries that support those in need around the world include a diverse array of overseas missions that can transform lives of all ages.
  • Electronic communications – Are you good at Web site design, photography, live events, making videos or telling stories online? First Middletown has important ministries that can make good use of your talents.
  • Or – build your own! Do you have your own unique ideas as to how to serve God in the world, or would you like to try out new things? First Middletown is here to help you develop your own sense of God’s purpose for you in life.
