First United Methodist Church of Colleyville is a partner church to Helping Children Worldwide. Helping Children Worldwide works to strengthen communities in Sierra Leone, one of the poorest countries in the world by supporting programs that provide vulnerable children and their families with opportunities for education, health care, vocational assistance, and spiritual mentoring.
HCW underwrites programs, including Child Reintegration Centre (CRC) and Mercy Hospital, that are especially focused on education, family stability, maternal health, infant survival, and childhood nutrition. HCW provides local leadership and programs the financial underwriting, training, technical advice they need, and assistance of long-term and short-term mission teams providing partnerships to build capacity.

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.

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.

Members of the church are encouraged to make the love offering of $7 per person (up to $20 per family).
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.

Our church partners with FUMC Grapevine to provide weekend meals for children living in poverty in Grapevine-Colleyville ISD. Each school year we partner with five schools: Glenhope Elementary, Colleyville Heritage Elementary School, Cross Timbers Middle School, and Colleyville Heritage 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.
Project Transformation is a group that grew out of the Central Texas Conference, that works each summer to create leadership opportunities for college-age young adults, and engaging, educational summer programs for young students. While the young adults create additional programming for students centering on social/emotional learning and fun, our church comes alongside them and helps elementary students grow in their reading ability by reading with students for one week each summer.
Adult sponsors are needed for Sunday School and other youth and children’s activities. Background checks and training are required before volunteers can work with children or youth. Contact or to learn more.
