Volunteer Opportunities
The Erie United Methodist Church has a mission that tells who we are – Growing in Christ to serve others
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
The members of our church believe that each of us is called to participate in the outreaching ministry of Jesus Christ.
Putting our faith into action is at the very heart of our Christian calling. By volunteering through programs listed below every person in our church has the opportunity to serve and to live their calling.
Erie UMC is proud to support the following organizations…
Love by Hand is a lively group of knitters and crocheters who craft to benefit various organizations, including Meals on Wheels, A Precious Child, Safe Shelter of St Vrain Valley, and more!
Love by Hand meets Monday mornings from 9:30 to 11:30 in our fellowship hall,
All are welcome, yarn and patterns provided, and they will even teach you how to knit/crochet!
Contact our church office for more info!
We are proud supporters of the Wounded Warrior Project! Every spring and summer volunteers from the congregation teach a group of wounded warriors from Colorado Springs to fly fish in the beautiful ponds and reservoirs in Erie.
United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) comes alongside those who suffer from natural or human-caused disasters – be it famine, hurricane, war, flood, fire or other events—to alleviate suffering and to be a source of help and hope for those left most vulnerable. They provide relief, response and long-term recovery grants when these events overwhelm a community’s ability to recover on their own. UMCOR also provides technical support and training for partners to address emerging and ongoing issues related to disaster relief, recovery, and long-term health and development.
Ganta Hospital, Liberia
Serving a rural, financially-struggling community in north Africa, Ganta Hospital provides quality affordable healthcare. Erie UMC is proud to support them and their subsistence farmering community.
Albert Willicor, Jr
Currently attending dental school, Albert Willicor, Jr plans to serve Ganta Hospital upon graduation. (He will be the only dentist in a 90-kilometer radius.) He was inspired by his father, Dr. Albert Willicor, who served Ganta Hospital for decades.
““Do all the good you can, in all the places you can, to all the people you can.””
