AUMC Missions
What We Believe
At Arapaho United Methodist Church, we believe God calls us together as a community of faith to experience and grow in faith, hope and love. We are then sent into the world to serve God's children in specific and varied ways, trusting in Christ whose love is limitless and unconditional, whose strength supplies our own, and whose wisdom will one day bring peace and justice to all creation.
---------------------------------------------------
What We Do
Our mission projects are local, national and international. Some tasks require specialized experience and knowledge; others require nothing but willing hearts and hands!
We support some organizations with financial gifts; others receive both time and money. Each organization we assist, though, must exhibit a clear need for the resources we can provide.

Arapaho Mission Action Teams
A new component of Missions at Arapaho is the formation of teams to work together on various projects throughout the year. These smaller groups have several advantages:
• more mobility and flexibility;
• greater support and encouragement for one another;
• the ability to work on different projects at the same time;
• more individualized training for new or inexperienced team members;
• new team leaders gain experience by working on smaller projects.
Come live and learn with us.
Arapaho Mission Action Teams will help you experience the joy of serving God and God's People.
