Go therefore and make disciples of all nations
Matthew 28:19
FUMC has a passion for Missions. We believe in SERVING THE WORLD through international missions as well as local programs. Many of these groups operate out of our main campus, while some of them exist in the heart of Manhattan and even beyond Kansas. We believe the words of the Gospel Matthew when Jesus says "whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”
Below you will find a list of some of the ministry opportunities that FUMC contributes to. If you have a passion to serve please contact us so we can get you involved with our teams.

Music Ministries
Here at FUMC we have vibrant and active music ministries for all ages. If you sing or play any instrument we have a ministry for you. Our Contemporary Praise Band is always looking for new volunteers and our choirs are always welcoming new voices. We also have various ensembles you can get involved with including a blue grass band, orchestra, hand bells and more. Contact our office for more information.

We continue to offer our Wednesday and Saturday night meals during this COVID time. All meals are offered as "to go meals" for now and are available to ANYONE! Not interested in eating a meal but you would like to help? Contact our kitchen coordinator Ryan Likes by email at kitchen@fumcmanhattan.com to see if there may be a volunteer position available that fits your interest!

Tuesday Geezers
This self named group of hard working men come together once a week to help maintain the church in small and big ways. If you can change a light bulb, check smoke detectors, move furniture or have more advanced skills you might use around the house we have a task for you. There is always plenty of coffee and great conversation.
