Outreach Ministries

At WGUMC we believe that when we serve others, we are serving God. We are committed to “taking action to provide service and compassionate care to the vulnerable in our community and world.” WGUMC has multiple ministry teams that have ongoing outreach ministries – Building Hope, United Women in Faith and Reconciling Ministries. We invite you to come engage with us in these serving ministries.

Amigos de Guadalupe (Casitas)

WGUMC engages in the support of the Casitas tiny home community in San Jose through dinner service throughout the year, Easter Egg hunts, Reverse Trick or Treat, Thanksgiving meal and Christmas dinner/caroling. We also supply special support – emergency hotel gifts, facilitated parenting classes, grounds cleanup, hygiene necessities and clothing.

Every two years WGUMC makes a trip to Tijuana or Rosarito Mexico to build homes for those in need, and changing hearts forever. We partner with Amor Ministries to help facilitate the home building process.
