Service To Others (STO)

The mission of Community United Methodist Church is to honor God by making faithful disciples of Jesus Christ. What is a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ? It is someone who follows Jesus example. One of the ways we can follow Jesus example is by serving others. Sometimes we can serve others through random acts of kindness. Occasionally we are another person's Good Samaritan. There are also times when we become aware of a need and we are in a position to help.
