Child Reintegration Center

First United Methodist Church of Colleyville is a partner church to Helping Children Worldwide’s Africa Programs, whose goal is to support at-risk children in Bo, Sierra Leone, West Africa. Sierra Leone is consistently rated by the United Nations as one of the poorest countries in the world and has been struggling to rebuild after its bloody civil war a decade ago, which left many children without parents or hope for a future. Africa Programs primarily supports two organizations in Bo: the Child Reintegration Center and Mercy Hospital.

UMCOR Sager Brown

The UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) Sager Brown Depot is the hub of UMCOR’s relief-supply operations. Each year, more than 2,000 volunteers prepare about $5 million in supplies for shipment to places around the world affected by disasters. UMCOR Sager Brown reaches out to its local neighbors through food distribution and housing rehabilitation projects, engaging volunteers in these projects that help families and the elderly. They also assist with building of ramps for older adults and people who disabled, work at Chez Hope, the local domestic violence shelter, in their thrift shop and volunteer at Matthew 25 International which conducts outreach work in countries such as Haiti, Peru and India. FUMC Colleyville hosts an annual adult mission trip to UMCOR Sager Brown in Baldwin, Louisiana.

The meal is free to first-time guests and the people from our city and community we will honor each month.  Members of the church are encouraged to make the love offering of $7 per person (up to $20 per family).

Project Read

Project Read is an outreach ministry to serve struggling readers in local elementary schools within Grapevine-Colleyville ISD.  From late September through late May, volunteers meet with their assigned students once a week for 30 minutes during school hours under the direction of the student’s teacher.  The scheduled time is based on the student’s availability and teacher’s classroom schedule.  It is a fun and uplifting opportunity to connect with the community and to find your own blessings along the way. Volunteers must complete the GCISD Volunteer application process and background checks each school year.

Weekend Meal Program

Each school year we partner with four schools: Glenhope Elementary, Bransford Elementary, Cross Timbers Middle School, and Colleyville Heritage High School. Each week a group in our church packs and delivers the meals to the school, so that no child in our school district has to go without food during the weekend.
