Doing Good
Our DNA as a church and as United Methodists includes a deep commitment to doing good, standing with those who are marginalized and making a difference in the challenges people face, whether in our community or far away. Check out some of the opportunities below to join in this work of peace, justice, and compassion.
Mission
Our Missions team chooses projects throughout the year where we can make a difference with our presence, our advocacy, and our giving. Our newsletter highlights these opportunities regularly. Take a look and see how you might connect!
Equity and Justice Team
Starting in July 2020 after the murder of George Floyd, we’ve been meeting for conversation, learning, and action in the area of racism. The Equity and Justice Team that grew out of these conversations now meets twice a month and is pursuing ways to pursue the work of antiracism in West Des Moines and beyond.
Serve Meal
Every other month, we provide and/or serve a meal at CFUM (Children & Families Urban Movement) in Des Moines. It’s a great opportunity to make a difference for hungry people in the Des Moines metro. We don’t just put food on people’s plates. We’re present with conversation, care, and connection.
