Available Ministries

Adults

We're committed to equipping adults with authentic, challenging education about Christ, His church, and His teachings. Men's Ministry is dedicated to providing men with pathways for spiritual growth through Christian fellowship, effective discipleship, and mission outreach. Our Women's Ministry seeks to evangelize, encourage and equip women in their personal walk with Jesus Christ through Christian fellowship, learning and service.

Youth

Our mission is to build a Christian community where non-religious and nominally religious students are becoming deeply committed Christians. We accomplish this mission by equipping parents, adults and staff, as well as offering contemporary programs to lead students into a deeply committed faith.

Children

Children's Ministries mentors children from birth to know, love and follow Jesus Christ, and to help their families become deeply committed Christians.

VBS

Vacation Bible School is one of the most favorite times of the year for our kids. Each year about 200 children participate in the biggest vacation bible school in West Plains.

Missions

Our Missions Ministry develops deeply committed Christians by sending members of our congregation into our community, denomination and world to make disciples and serve others in ways that honor God, share Christ, transform lives and promote justice.

There are many ministries that the members of First United Methodist Church of West Plains are involved in.  Everyone is encouraged to find their fruit of the spirit and put it to use.

If you feel like you are being lead to be a leader, please don't hesitate to put those talents to use.  The sooner those talents are used, the better chances there are to really change someone's life.  You just never know when you help someone how it will affect them.  The best thing to do is follow the old adage of do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
