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.
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.
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. Nearly 40 years later, Missions in Action, a church member-led committee at Asbury, identifies organizations that are helping others and allocates money to them using the gifts you put in the offering plate. In 2024 alone, Asbury gave more than $890,000.
