Our Mission

We are called together to be risk takers for Christ who:

Welcome the Weary,
Worship with Joy,
Work for God’s Kingdom, and
Walk in Faith, leaving footprints for others to follow.

Cherry Hill UMC is involved in many mission opportunities.

Habitat for Humanity is once again at the forefront of our hands on Mission Experience this year. The Annual Habitat Auction is scheduled for May 15 with proceeds to cover our share of the local Habitat Budget this year.

Habitat is working on two rehab houses this year just a few miles from us near Ypsilanti. The two scheduled work days are June 19 and July 9. These are great opportunities to help someone have decent housing as well as meet folks from other congregations and civic groups in the area.

The United Methodist Men’s Group just delivered another load of parts for the P.E.T. (Personal Energy Transportation) project in Holland. These little three wheeled vehicles provide a way for children who have been victims of injury, disease or birth defect to get about and help provide for their families in many nations across the world.

A team of 13 from Michigan and Indiana will be serving on a Volunteer in Mission Team in Rural Portland Parish Jamaica in June. We will be working at the Fruitful Vale Methodist Church doing a much needed facelift. Pastors Merlin & Kay will be leading the team. Bob Simmons and John West from CHUMC will be serving on the team as well as team mates from Ionia 1st UMC, Newburg UMC, Moorestown-Stittsville UMC, Pilgrim UMC here in Michigan, and three from Friends (Quaker) Churches in Indiana.

Please stay tuned for other opportunities to serve the Lord and our communities.
