PLEASE NOTE: Due to recent "social distancing" requirements in regard to COVID-19, we are currently having to make adjustments for our missions and outreach. Our Food Bank will continue to be held on the fourth Thursday of each month, but it will be a "drive-thru" distribution service. For more information please contact the church office at greenwood@arumc.org.
“Love God. Love Others. Make a Difference.”
Here at GUMC, we strive to share God’s love, change lives and serve the local community. Included below are several ministries that we offer in fulfilling our mission. However, new opportunities for service are always in the works. Contact the church office at (479) 996-6397 or greenwood@arumc.org, if you would like to help serve in one of these mission projects or if you would like to make a donation.
Foster Family Night Out ~ This ministry provides a "night out" for foster parents and children. Families are invited to enjoy a free meal.

Classes are also occasionally provided for the foster parents.
Back Pack Program ~ weekly distributions of non-perishable food items are sent home with children in need during the school year (in coordination with the Greenwood School District and the Community Clearinghouse in Fort Smith, Arkansas.)
