Want to serve but unsure how?
Our monthly missions newsletter is a great place to start! The service opportunities below are all designed to help you grow in your spiritual life, no matter how much time you have, whether you plan to serve individually, or whether you’re seeking a mission project for your whole family.
Upcoming Special Opportunities
Asbury’s disaster response team (Cutters for Christ) formed in 2013 and responds to natural disasters within a 400-mile radius of Birmingham. From Georgia and Louisiana to Mississippi, Tennessee, and Florida, our team of volunteers packs up their chainsaws, skid steer loader, and tools and goes to tackle downed trees whenever and wherever they’ve fallen.In honor of the March Mission of the Month and our focus on Disaster Recovery, it’s the perfect time to consider joining this amazing team. All are welcome—especially those open and able to travel. Email Missions Coordinator Brooke Wolde.
Our incredible sixth-grade students have a goal to pack 100 hygiene item bags for Oak Mountain Missions. Will you help them reach their goal?
Throughout March, please bring the following men’s or women’s items to the Mission Wall:
Deodorant
2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner
Body Wash / Soap
Hairbrush or Comb
Toothpaste
Chapstick
Nail Clippers
Wash Cloths
Help with a Mission of the Month
The work behind these family-focused initiatives happens within Asbury’s walls, so it couldn’t be easier to serve. Interested in leading a mission of the month? Email Missions Coordinator Brooke Wolde.
Donate Items
Year Round: Asbury collects gently used tennis shoes for Oak Mountain Missions, gently used purses for Hope Filled Rooms, and gently used eyeglasses for Global Eyeglass Ministry. Please bring these items to Asbury’s Donation Corner (downstairs in the Adult Wing).
Serve with a Ministry Partner
While organized by Asbury United Methodist Church, these missions opportunities are designed to help you get introduced to the many organizations doing God’s work throughout greater Birmingham. Have a missions project in mind? Email Missions Coordinator Brooke Wolde.
Support International Missions
In 2023, Asbury tripled its international impact and we now work with several organizations and missionaries who are transforming lives and sharing the love of Jesus. Meet these heroes.
Ready to do more?
When Asbury UMC was established in 1986, its founding members and clergy decided that on top of the 10% it gives to The United Methodist Church for ministries and outreach, Asbury would give 10% more to Birmingham and its community partners through its Missions in Action program.
In 2024 alone, Asbury gave more than $890,000.
